The Atlanta Police Department is investigating two separate crimes – a fatal shooting at a McDonald’s and a violent home invasion.
On Dec. 27 at approximately 2:42 p.m., Atlanta Police Zone 4 officers responded to a report of a person shot at the McDonald’s at 1166 Ralph David Abernathy Blvd. SW. Upon arriving on the scene, officers found an adult female victim who had sustained a gunshot wound.
The victim – identified as Tamanika Woods, 30 – was transported to Grady Hospital by ambulance, where she succumbed to their injury. Responding officers detained a person of interest at the scene.
APD’s Homicide Unit placed T’Niya Evans,19, into custody for her involvement in the fatal shooting. She has been charged with murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and theft by receiving stolen property.
Police said the two women were arguing and that the gun Evans used in the crime was stolen from a vehicle.
APD continues to seek the suspect in a violent home invasion.
APD released a sketch of a suspect in the incident that occurred on Dec. 13 at a home on Northwest Drive. APD’s Robbery Unit investigators are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect.
The incident occurred at 1:38 p.m. when the suspect kicked in the front door of the residence and pointed a gun at the victim. The suspect stole an AR-15-style rifle from the residence before fleeing the location.
The suspect was described as a black male between the ages of 17-20, wearing a dark hoodie, dark jogging pants, and dreadlocks that stopped at his cheekbones.
