COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A woman is dead and a teen recovering from his injuries after a domestic dispute in Cobb County.
Police said that just before 6 p.m., officers were called to the 200 block of Spring Valley Road SE but ended up chasing the suspect as he attempted to drive away from the scene.
According to Cobb County Police, the suspect, later identified as 32-year-old Juan Antonio Gonzalez, even fired at police and struck one of their vehicles before crashing into another car a short distance away. No other person was injured in the shooting or accident and the man was taken into custody.
However, police found a much more grim scene when they arrived back at the original crime scene. Inside the home, police said a woman, 38-year-old Oralia Melo Meza, was found shot dead and her 16-year-old son was also hit, but alive. He was taken to the hospital with injuries that police didn't believe were life-threatening.
Police said there were other people inside the house at the time of the shooting, but didn't have details on how they could be tied to either side of the incident or if they are being treated as witnesses.
Gonzalez, meanwhile, has been charged with felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, aggravated assault on a peace officer, felony fleeing and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Jail records show he was not issued a bond.
