A Sandy Springs high school senior was scheduled to graduate the day after a deadly shooting. Instead, the teen is now on the run after police said he shot and killed a 21-year-old.
"In that dispute a boyfriend and girlfriend got into a physical altercation, after the dispute had ended. The nephew got a firearm and shot and killed the 21-year-old," Sgt. M.H. McGinnis with the Sandy Springs Police Department reported.
Police said, when they arrived on the scene Monday night, Marable had already fled.
Sandy Springs police said at the time they needed to talk to the teen to get his side of the story.
"He is a high school student and that is why we are working hard to try and talk to him. We don't want him to continue on this path. If he didn't choose it and he was defending, we need to know that," Sgt. McGinnis explained.
