The charges stem from a shooting reported around 10:24 p.m. on Nov. 24, 2025, near 464 Bishop St. NW in Atlanta. Officers responding to reports of a person shot found an adult man inside a vehicle with an apparent gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Homicide investigators processed the scene and began an investigation.
Authorities said the investigation remains ongoing and that details released so far are preliminary and could change as detectives continue their work.
