A deputy shot and killed a suspect as authorities served a drug warrant at an apartment complex in Cobb County, officials said.
The Marietta-Cobb-Smyrna undercover narcotics unit was serving the warrant at the Liberty Point Apartments, located in the 700 block of Franklin Gateway, when the suspect tried to hit deputies with his car, Cobb sheriff’s Lt. Col. Robert Quigley told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
One of the deputies fired the shot that killed the man, Quigley said. The deputies sustained minor injures but are expected to be fine.
The suspect was later identified as 23-year-old Joel Gatu Muturi. Officials have not released the identity of the deputy.
Quigley said drugs and guns were recovered in the home.
The GBI is investigating the shooting, spokeswoman Nelly Miles said.
