ATLANTA — A woman was shot and killed Saturday afternoon after an argument over an eviction escalated to gunfire at a northwest Atlanta home, police said.

The shooting happened at 941 Margaret Place in the Grove Park neighborhood not far from Westside Reservoir Park just after noon.

Atlanta Police said the woman was involved in an argument with someone who they believe knew regarding an eviction. The person then shot the woman; she was rushed to the hospital where medical staff tried to perform lifesaving efforts before she died.

On Sunday night, Atlanta Police said they arrested 75-year-old Winston Muhammad on charges of murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He was booked into the Fulton County Jail.

That person has now been identified by police homicide detectives as a person of interest in the shooting.

Atlanta Police are continuing to investigate what led up to the shooting.
