A man and his daughter were arrested Thursday following a domestic dispute that left a man dead at a troubled DeKalb County apartment complex a day prior, police said.
Officers were called to the Belle Vista apartments on Camellia Lane off DeKalb Medical Parkway around 2:50 p.m. Wednesday regarding the gunfire. At the scene, authorities said they found 25-year-old Treyvon Vallery dead and shot at least once.
Shortly after, a 47-year-old man, later identified as Royricas Shaw, arrived at a nearby hospital suffering from a gunshot wound and was tied to the incident, police confirmed. His injuries were not considered life-threatening.
The investigation revealed that Vallery was involved in a domestic dispute with 25-year-old Nina Shaw, authorities confirmed. At some point during the altercation, she called her father, Royricas Shaw, to the apartment complex that sits across the street from Miller Grove High School.
“The father then joined the dispute and eventually shot the victim. Nina Shaw also shot at the victim,” officials said.
Royricas Shaw and Nina Shaw are both facing charges of malice murder and remain in the DeKalb jail without bond. Police did not say how Royricas Shaw was shot during the incident.
Belle Vista, formerly known as Ashley Vista, is among 275 of the metro area’s persistently dangerous complexes, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s “Dangerous Dwellings” investigation that looked into serious crimes, lax maintenance and other hazards in Atlanta neighborhoods. DeKalb police reported 210 crimes at the complex from 2017 through July 2023, including 10 aggravated assaults, two rapes, a sexual assault and four robberies.
