Carlos Diaz Jr., 18, faces multiple charges including malice murder and felony murder in the deadly shooting.
A 17-year-old died in the incident March 8 on New MacLand Road in Powder Springs. The victim was a former student at Campbell High School.
Following the shooting, Campbell Principal Dr. Vanessa Watkins sent a letter to parents letting them know counseling would be available to students.
“With a heavy heart, I find myself typing the most devastating words for a principal to type or a parent to read,” Watkins wrote. “Late last night, at a house in West Cobb, a fight resulted in a former Campbell student losing their life. While this tragedy didn’t have anything to do with our school directly, we have already begun hearing how it is affecting our students.”
