Roommates of Man Accused of Killing 2 Say a Dispute Preceded the Atlanta-Area Attacks
Authorities say the U.S. Navy veteran faces state and federal gun charges after three shootings killed 2 people and left 1 critically injured.
- On Monday, April 13, 26-year-old U.K. native and Navy veteran Olaolukitan Adon Abel allegedly killed two people and critically injured another in a series of shootings across the Atlanta area.
- Roommates reported that Adon Abel stormed out of his communal house in Panthersville after an intense argument late Sunday night regarding the home's air conditioning temperature.
- Authorities linked Abel to three attacks, including the death of 31-year-old Prianna Weathers, the shooting of a 49-year-old man, and the assault of DHS worker Lauren Bullis.
- Prosecutors on Friday filed federal firearms charges against Abel and 35-year-old homeless man Damon Marquis Yarns, who allegedly purchased the 9 mm pistol used in the shootings for him.
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin voiced concerns regarding Abel's U.S. citizenship granted in 2022, while records show the defendant pleaded guilty in California to assault and vandalism in 2024.
