A 16-year-old, who was wounded in a shooting that left an 18-year-old dead in South Fulton on Tuesday, has been charged with murder, authorities said.
The younger teenager’s name was not released by police. He is accused of shooting and killing the older teen, identified as Daniel Jones, who was found dead in the driveway of a home on Elkmont Ridge near Apache Street.
Police were called at around 3:45 a.m. about a person shot in the Legacy at Cascading Creek neighborhood. Shortly after finding Jones, they discovered that the 16-year-old had also been hurt and was in the living room of another home down the road.
He was rushed to a hospital in critical condition. By Wednesday, police announced he’d been charged with murder, armed robbery and two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
No other details about the case have been released by police.
