On Monday in Midtown Atlanta, a lady opened fire, killing two people and critically wounding a third. The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office has identified the two fatalities as Michael Shinners, 60, and Wesley Freeman, 41. The third victim's family revealed his identity on Tuesday. Mike Horne is his name, and according to his family, he is still in the hospital.
On Monday afternoon, a daytime gunshot sent highly armed police officers to crowded midtown, prompting the police to momentarily ask citizens to keep off the streets as they searched for the shooter. At a press conference, Mayor Andre Dickens stated, "You are safe at this time." "Now that the suspect has been captured, everything is back to normal."
According to Atlanta Police Department Interim Chief Darin Schierbaum at the press conference, police tracked the woman to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where she was taken into custody without a hitch at about 4 p.m. The suspect's name is Raissa Kenge.
On Tuesday afternoon, Kenge made his first public appearance in Fulton County. The state read the charges against the woman, and the court determined there was sufficient evidence to proceed. The suspect interrupted the judge to claim that the man who had been identified as her lawyer was not really her lawyer. The judge described how a judge is chosen by the court. The judge announced that a later date and the attorney of her choice would be used to hear the case. Murder, non-negligent manslaughter, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during a felony, and false imprisonment are among the many allegations Ms. Kengne is facing.
Why did she kill?
Police refused to provide further details while saying the victims appeared to have been "targeted." The names of the two victims are among many others in documents in a job discrimination complaint that the suspect, Raissa Kenge, filed last year. She is a plaintiff in two cases against the 1280 West building management. In a federal civil lawsuit, she asserted that she was a whistleblower and that the defendant corporation and its managers had broken her civil rights and financial laws.
