Suspect arrested in fatal apartment shooting
Police have arrested a suspect wanted for a pair of shootings, one fatal, at a northwest Atlanta apartment complex.
Mario Talley, 28, was arrested Friday and charged with felony murder, aggravated assault and attempted robbery, Atlanta police said. He’s alleged to have shot and killed Rodney Walker last Sunday night at the Daron Village Apartments on Harwell Road.
Walker was found dead by police in the rear of the apartment building. Police said he had been shot multiple times.
Another man, Isiah Knight, told police he had been robbed and shot outside the apartments. He was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital in stable condition, police said at the time. Investigators linked both shootings to Talley, who is being held at the Fulton County Jail.
