New video shows random shooting of father of 5

ATLANTA — Atlanta police hope new surveillance video will lead them to the man who fired several shots, hitting a pickup truck along Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard in southwest Atlanta last week.

That driver, a father of five, was hit in in the head and is now in critical condition.

Investigators said the shooting started when three men were seen arguing. Two went into a store while the third stayed outside and drew a gun.

Surveillance video obtained by Channel 2's Audrey Washington shows the moments following the shooting.

According to Atlanta police, Tobias Thomas lost control of his truck and then hit a man on the sidewalk. The man suffered a serious leg injury, but survived.

Authorities aren’t sure if the gunman fired the gun for warning shots or for intimidation, but one bullet hit Thomas in the head.

His pregnant fiancée, Shaakira Krasenics, said he's in critical condition, but listed as stable. She said he's recovering in the hospital.

She said that Thomas is a Grammy-nominated artist and had just written a children's book.

“(I'm) just in utter shock that someone could be so careless with people around. Anybody could be in this predicament right now. Sad that it's us but this is the world that we live in,” Krasenics said.

The family is pleading answers in this case.

Anyone with information about the shooter is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS(8477).
