A DeKalb County man was being sought by police Friday in connection with the fatal overnight shooting of his 16-year-old stepson.
The shooting happened late Thursday night at the Estuary Apartment Homes on Evans Road near Henderson Mill Road.
Channel 2 Action News reported that the victim, identified by family members as Andreas Arais, was allegedly shot multiple times by his stepfather, who was arguing with his mother over a sibling.
According to the victim’s sister, Fabiola Arais, the argument broke out when her mother tried to stop her stepdad from taking the 2-year-old from the home.
“My brother got in between them and my stepdad went and pulled the gun out and shot him four times,” Fabriola Arais told Channel 2. “My brother, he always tries to be the brave one.”
The station reported early Friday that the stepfather, whose name has not been released by police, was still at large.
