Lawsuit could show possible motive in triple shooting that left 2 dead in midtown

ATLANTA — Channel 2 Action News is getting new insight into a possible motive in Monday’s midtown Atlanta shooting.

“I reported a crime. I reported a crime. Listen! Listen!” Raissa Kengne can be heard saying in a LinkedIn video she posted.

Kenge is the woman accused of shooting three people on Monday, two of those people have died.

In the video, Kengne spoke with an Atlanta police officer about a break-in she believed happened at her condo, at the 1280 West Condominiums near 16th street.

The same place where police say she shot two of the victims.

Kengne also filed a now-dismissed federal lawsuit against her former employer, her condo building’s management company, one of the victims Wesley Freeman and even her neighbor.

The nearly 600-page suit is filled with several accusations including burglary, harassment and retaliation, after Kengne said she noted a “significant deficiency” in an audit that was disregarded.

Channel 2′s Audrey Washington spoke with Andrew Lampros who is a local attorney.

Lampros does not represent Kenge or any of the parties involved in the now dismissed lawsuit. But, he reviewed the lawsuit on Wednesday for Channel 2 Action News.

“It’s just a litany of personal grievances that seem a bit farfetched,” Lampros said. “But when you get into the substance of the complaint, what the parties had done to harm her, I didn’t see anything there that would get rise to any remedy under the law.”

Kengne is now at the Fulton County Jail with no bond and faces two murder charges.
