A drug-related shooting and stabbing incident near a Circle K parking lot led to three Marietta men being arrested on various charges, police said.
About 8:30 p.m. Jan. 10, officers responded to calls about gunfire near Bells Ferry Road and Williams Drive, Marietta police spokesman Chuck McPhilamy said in a news release.
During a dispute over a drug purchase, Antonio Williams, 43, stabbed Anthony McCuen, 19, police said, and then McCuen ran after Williams and shot him multiple times.
McCuen was treated for injuries and booked into the Cobb County jail. Williams is also in custody and recovering from injuries.
Police also found Demarquez Simmons, 19, was involved in the dispute. He was jailed after he gave officers a false name and birth date.
McCuen and Simmons were found to be responsible for two armed robberies that morning at the same gas station, McPhilamy said.
McCuen had items that were stolen in a vehicle break-in the day before, according to police.
McCuen and Simmons also were identified as members of the Gangster Disciples, police said. They are charged with aggravated assault with intent to murder and other offenses.
Simmons is charged with street gang terrorism and other charges.
