A fight in a parking lot near Cumberland Mall turned deadly Saturday night.
Cobb Police said George B. Tabetando, 29, of Powder Springs died of gunshot wounds after getting into a fight with another man around 7 p.m. Saturday in a parking lot of the Macy's department store, near the Cobb Community Transit bus station on Cumberland Boulevard.
Cobb Police Spokesman Sgt. Dana Pierce said in a news release Sunday morning that witnesses saw the male suspect flee the scene in a brown, charcoal or gray BMW.
Pierce said the suspect is a black male with dreadlocks, and was last seen wearing dark clothing and in possession of a handgun. He also said police think the BMW may have been driven by a black female.
Pierce said after the two men began fighting, the suspect pulled out a handgun and shot a man later identified as Tabetando several times, chasing him into a roadway.
Tabetando was taken to Emory Adventist Hospital in Smyrna and died there, Pierce said.
Cobb Police are asking that anyone with information about events leading up to the shooting and who can identify Tabetando to call 770-499-3945.

Call me any name you want, but as public transportation and road improvements make the suburbs more accessible, this will become a common occurrence.

It would happen regardless Mr. Bozeman as times get tougher and harder on 14 million unemployed & 26 million below the poverty line. Accessibility has nothing to do with it! Ever watch a bee hive when they are crowded & packed together? Human nature is not exactly the same but we all have responses to given situations; whereby transportation improvements has nothing to do with it.
