Clayton County Police say Watkins-Causey and the group of men walked into the Da Barbers Lab in the River Station Plaza located in the 5400 block of River Station Blvd on April 2, 2022, to try to collect from one of barbers working there. He told police he was owed $900 for marihuana.
Anthony McClain, who is the son of the owner of the barbershop, was not the target and stepped outside when the men entered the business demanding the money, police say.
The fight inside the barbershop spilled outside into the parking lot. Police say a shootout broke out. One of those bullets hit McClain in the face. He died at the scene.
