DeKalb County investigators said Abel shot and killed Weathers outside a Checkers on Wesley Chapel Road around 1 a.m.
They said he then traveled more than 15 miles to Brookhaven and shot Matthews, who was sleeping outside a Kroger on Peachtree Road.
Police said Abel then traveled to Battle Forrest Drive where he stabbed, shot and killed Bullis as she walked her dog. Abel had been renting a room at a home in the same neighborhood, according to investigators.
The Associated Press reports Abel was granted U.S. citizenship in 2022 while serving in the Navy and stationed in the San Diego area.
