A 15-year-old from Atlanta has been charged with murder following a shooting Friday in Cobb County, according to police.

Justin Derome Harris is accused of firing several shots at two people at a Cumberland Parkway address, his arrest warrant states. He is being charged as an adult.

“The said accused pointed a firearm ... and shot several bullets,” the warrant states.

An 18-year-old was shot in the upper body multiple times and died at the scene, according to police. His name was not released pending notification of family members.

A second person was also shot but survived, police said. He was struck on the lower part of his body, the warrant for Harris states.

Harris was arrested Monday morning and charged with murder and two counts of aggravated assault, Cobb jail records show. He was being held without bond Tuesday.
