A DHS Worker Who Just Ran Her First Marathon and the Mother of a Pre-Teen Were Killed in Attacks Spanning 3 Atlanta Suburbs

Police said the 40-year-old auditor was among three victims in separate attacks, while investigators have not confirmed a motive.

  • On Monday, Department of Homeland Security auditor Lauren Bullis was shot and stabbed to death while walking her dog in Panthersville, Georgia, in what police identified as one of three random attacks by Olaolukitan Adon-Abel, 26.
  • Adon-Abel, born in England and naturalized in 2022 under former President Joe Biden, possessed a lengthy criminal record including convictions for sexual battery, assault with a deadly weapon, and battery against a police officer.
  • The rampage also killed an unidentified woman outside a Checkers restaurant and critically injured a 49-year-old homeless man near a Kroger, with police describing the events as 'completely random' attacks at three separate Atlanta-area locations.
  • DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin called the murder a 'devastating loss,' criticizing the prior administration's vetting process as 'wholly inadequate' while praising President Donald Trump's measures to bar citizenship for those with criminal histories.
  • Bullis, an avid runner and world traveler from Louisiana, was remembered by colleagues as a 'bright spot' within the agency, with her family describing the 40-year-old as 'selfless, kind and compassionate.
