Two men were arrested Tuesday and charged with murder in connection with a shooting in northwest Atlanta earlier this month.

William Griggs and Barry Rhodes are accused of shooting Domica Garrett, 21, of Atlanta, on Sept. 2, Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones said.

The incident led to a SWAT response but did not result in additional injuries, Jones said.

Griggs and Rhodes are being held at the Fulton County jail.
