Police have warrants for suspect in deadly Lenox Square shooting

ATLANTA — Atlanta police have warrants for one suspect in a deadly shooting at Lenox Square.

Police are not releasing the suspect’s name as the fugitive unit works to get him in custody.

Channel 2’s Nicole Carr broke the news of the warrant on Twitter.

The shooting happened in the mall’s parking lot outside the Cheesecake Factory on Sunday, March 8, around 6 p.m.

Officers said two groups had gotten into an argument over a parking spot. Someone pulled a gun and shot a man, killing him.

The next day, police said they were looking for three men they identified as people of interest in the case.

The shooting was the fourth shooting at the mall in four months and the first to leave someone dead.
