Police have arrested two men accused in the shooting death of a 35-year-old man inside an Atlanta apartment.
On Jan. 26 around 11:25 p.m., officers were called to the Allen Hill apartments, off Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in northwest Atlanta, on a report of a dispute involving a weapon, according to Officer John Chafee with Atlanta police. While officers were en route, a person was reported shot at the same location, Chafee said.
Channel 2 Action News previously reported that a woman answered a knock at the door and four masked men pushed their way into the apartment demanding money. Officers arrived to find Randy Menefee, 35, dead inside an apartment, according to police. Menefree, of College Park, had been shot in the chest, police said.
Two days later, homicide investigators secured arrest warrants for Demario Franklin, 27, and Jamal Chandler, 28, charging them each with murder.
Late last week, both Franklin and Chandler were arrested, police said Tuesday. Both were transported to the Fulton County jail, where they were being held Tuesday night without bond.
Both Franklin and Chandler have prior felony convictions.
