ATLANTA — Atlanta police have made an arrest in the shooting death of a 21-year-old.
Someone shot and killed Deandre Hall outside an apartment complex on Delowe Drive on Feb. 14. Hall was just getting off work from a nearby Krystal, his family previously told Channel 2.
“My son died in my own arms,” said Keila Hall, his mother. “I watched him take his last breath.”

“We would like to thank all of those involved who worked on this case and who assisted in getting this violent suspect off the streets,” police said.
