A man has been charged with murder after a late Sunday shooting left his ex-girlfriend and her mother dead and a teenager injured, according to Dunwoody police.
Crystal Williams, 22, of Dunwoody, and her mother, Danyel Sims, 46, of Lawrenceville, were killed in a shooting at the Dunwoody Glen Apartments off Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, police said. Sims’ son, Malachi Williams, 18, of Lawrenceville, was taken to Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.
Justin Deion Turner, 23, has been charged in the shootings. Turner faces two counts of murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Police reported the victims were traveling in a SUV as they left the apartment complex.
“The ex-boyfriend of one of the victims proceeded to cut the SUV off with his vehicle before making contact with the occupants of the SUV,” police said in a news release. “Multiple shots were fired by the suspect before he fled the area.”
Officers who responded to the scene around 10:30 p.m. found the three shooting victims on the ground near the SUV. A fourth occupant of the SUV was not harmed.
Turner was captured Monday in Atlanta.
