Mother: ‘Sick-minded person’ killed son

The mother of a man shot to death and discovered in a Fulton County park Monday struggled to understand why someone would take his life.

Whoever killed Derron Holcomb "took my baby," a tearful Linda McKee told Channel 2 Action News on Tuesday. A day earlier, a jogger had come across the body of McKee's 24-year-old son at Creel Park in College Park. Her son often visited the park, she said.

“My son did not have to be shot down like a dog,” McKee said. “It’s got to be a sick-minded person to do this to my baby.”
