The Stockbridge man who was shot in the neck by police as they responded to the wrong address on a 911 call died Thursday afternoon, a family member said.
David Powell, 63, was shot late Tuesday or early Wednesday when Henry County police arrived outside his home and he went outside, with a gun, to see what the commotion was about. Police said Powell refused their instructions to put down his weapon, and an officer shot him.
Powell's brother-in-law, Clifton Worn, said Powell died at Atlanta Medical Center about 4 p.m. on Thursday.
Henry County police were responding to a call to 911 reporting gunshots and a woman crying for help. A preliminary review of the 911 call indicates “the officers were at the wrong location,” said Scott Dutton, spokesman for the GBI, which is investigating the shooting.
