Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum shared that a preliminary investigation indicated the shooting stemmed from domestic violence.
“When police arrived, they found two women. One aged 20 and one aged 25 had been injured by gunfire. We also found one male inside the home who would pass away shortly here on scene,” Schierbaum said.
Authorities say the murder suspect was detained while traveling along I-85 through Coweta County, after the Georgia State Patrol performed a traffic stop.
“He will be held accountable for the lives he took tonight, we believe, and the lives that he altered,” Schierbaum said.
