A man who was injured in a triple shooting in DeKalb County and his twin brother now face charges allegedly for making false statements, police said.
Authorities have not detailed the statements Paris Edwards and Pahlen Edwards made, but the charges follow a shooting spree at three separate locations that left one man dead and two injured, DeKalb police Maj. Stephen Fore said.
Investigators believe the shootings are related to a drug deal, but the investigation is ongoing.
Officers were called to the 700 block of Creste Drive on Wednesday morning, DeKalb police spokeswoman Shiera Campbell said. When they arrived, they found a man shot in a building breezeway.
“The victim stated he had been walking along Snapfinger Woods Drive when four males in a white car tried to rob him,” Campbell said. “When he ran, they shot him.”
Soon after, officers got calls reporting two more shootings in the area.
At Snapfinger Woods Drive and Shellbark Drive, they found a man dead inside a white Jeep. It had smashed into a tree, Campbell said.
Less than a mile away, another shooting victim, identified Friday as Pahlen Edwards, was found walking with his brother on Snapfinger Woods at Miller Road. Paris Edwards told police his brother was shot in the arm in the parking lot of a Texaco station.
The unnamed victim was last listed in critical condition. His name will not be released until detectives have interviewed him, police said.
The name of the man killed is still pending next-of-kin notification.
