Three Clayton County teens have been arrested after several gunshots were fired into the air late Sunday night following a graduation party at Dazzles Skating Rink in north Fayette County, police said. Some of the rounds struck objects including one that shattered a vehicle window, coming inches from a person’s head, according to lead investigator Det. Josh Shelton of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office. Fayetteville Police assisted by blocking the nearby entrance and exit to North 85 Parkway, and the suspects fled their vehicles to get rid of the weapons, police said. Witnesses called 911 with tips on one of the suspects, leading Fayetteville police to the arrest of Dontez Elliott, 17, of College Park, for obstruction of a police officer, police said. The investigation revealed that Elliott was one of three shooters and his weapon was later recovered, police said. The two others, Radarius Franklin, 18, of Riverdale and Davon Ezzard, 17, of College Park, were caught Wednesday by the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, police said. Franklin and Ezzard face charges of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, theft by receiving stolen property, reckless conduct and other misdemeanor charges, police said. Police were first called to the scene just before midnight when a 911 caller reported there was going to be trouble in the parking lot, police said. login to post comments |
