DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — An incident Monday afternoon left one person dead and a child injured, police in DeKalb County said.
It happened in the parking lot of Bigelow's Bar & Grill off Gresham Road in Atlanta, just off Interstate 20. After some back and forth, police said Thursday they now believe the incident stemmed from road rage.
They said that 25-year-old Darryl Wiley was followed by the suspect, 59-year-old Eric Simmons, who got out of his car and shot Wiley several times at the restaurant.
Police added that Wiley was taken to the hospital, where he died. The 3-year-old girl who was in the vehicle with him had a small cut from flying glass.
Officers said that Simmons fled the location but was later arrested and is in the DeKalb County Jail on murder and aggravated assault charges.
