ATLANTA — A 23-year-old man was arrested in connection to the murder of a 14-year-old boy last month.

On Tuesday, 11Alive's Cody Alcorn was back on scene and talked to Mack's aunt, Qinia Briddy who didn't know her nephew's accused killer had been arrested.
"I'm glad they found the guy who killed my baby," Briddy said.
A witness told Alcorn the teenager picked up a to-go order at the Phat Phish Café and seconds after walking out, gunshots erupted. Mack collapsed on the sidewalk feet from the front door of the restaurant.
He was taken to the hospital but was later pronounced dead, according to APD.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting have not been released.
Briddy said regardless of the circumstances her nephew shouldn't have been shot and killed.
"They got you but I still bless your family. May your family be blessed. I don't have any hate or nothing against you," Briddy added.
A memorial has been set up outside the restaurant in Mack's honor.
