The woman killed outside a DeKalb County Checkers early Monday morning has been identified by police as Prianna Weathers.
Weathers, 31, was the first of three victims in a deadly shooting spree across Fulton and DeKalb counties, according to police. They said she was shot and killed outside the Checkers on Wesley Chapel Road around 1 a.m.
After she was shot, police said the suspect—identified as 26-year-old Olaolukitan Adon-Abel—then shot an unhoused man outside a Brookhaven Kroger around 2 a.m. That man is expected to fully recover.
Around 7 a.m., Adon-Abel then allegedly shot and stabbed 40-year-old Lauren Bullis while she was walking her dog in her neighborhood, according to police. Adon-Abel was arrested late Monday afternoon after a traffic stop in Troup County.
He is now in the DeKalb County Jail after he waived his first appearance on Tuesday. Police said Adon-Abel has criminal histories in Chatham County and California.
Police haven’t released a motive and said the string of shootings appeared to be random.
The name of the man shot outside Kroger has not been released.
