Cops: Duluth man kills father-in-law in self defense
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Police say a Duluth man killed his father-in-law in self defense Friday night.
Mora Oliver, 44, died around 8:30 p.m. in Dacula after an argument erupted into gunfire, Gwinnett County Police spokesman Cpl. David Schiralli said.
Oliver was riding in a van with Danilo Arevalo, 21, on Jones Phillips Road near Indian Shoals Road. The two men began to argue and Oliver pulled a handgun, police said.
Oliver tried to shoot Arevalo, Schiralli said.
The men then began to struggle over the gun. That’s when Arevalo grabbed the gun and climbed out of the van, police said.
Officers say Arevalo was trying to flee the area, but Oliver ran after him and continued to fight.
“The suspect in an attempt to defend himself shot the victim killing him instantly,” Schiralli said Saturday morning.
Arevalo immediately called 911 to report the shooting. Oliver, of Lawrenceville, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives interviewed Arevalo, of Duluth, but decided not to file charges.
“At this time, all evidence points to the suspect’s story being true,” Schiralli said Saturday morning.
The shooting remains under investigation.
Arevalo is Oliver’s son-in-law, police said.
