Neighbors in the Bells Ferry Station neighborhood reported hearing shots shortly before police arrived and found Dallas dead.

Naeem Jakwan Edwards, 19, of Acworth, was arrested in connection to Dallas’ death, Chilton said. Edwards faces felony murder and aggravated assault with intent to murder charges.

The shooting is the second in two days reported in Cobb County.

Police responded to a call about gunshots exchanged between two groups at a large party in Kennesaw about 1 a.m., Chilton said.

That shooting was at the Stadium Village Apartments in the 3000 block of Hidden Forest Court, which is about 3 miles from the location of Saturday night’s shooting.
