ATLANTA — One person was shot and killed in Buckhead early Saturday afternoon, according to Atlanta Police.
Police Officer TaSheena Brown said that officers were dispatched to 1000 Peachtree Park Drive, N.E. shortly after 1 p.m. after receiving reports of a person shot.
When they arrived, Brown said, officers discovered a male, Keithan Joran Hillman, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. Hillman was pronounced dead by emergency crews when they arrived at the scene, Officer Brown said.
Investigators indicated that the victim had been in a dispute with another male, 29-year-old Michael Miata, when he was shot.
Brown said Miata escaped the scene in a Ford sedan with California license plates.
Atlanta Police said at the time that they were following strong leads. On Friday, investigators said they arrested Miata all the way in Queens, New York. He is in custody, awaiting extradition to Georgia.
Atlanta Police said that because it appears to be an isolated incident, they don't believe there is any threat to the public.
