A 23-year-old man is in jail Monday after he allegedly shot his grandmother, Dunwoody police said.
Erick Beasley faces a charge of aggravated assault associated with family violence and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Police were called about a person shot at the Drexel Collective apartments off Perimeter Center, not far from Ashford Dunwoody Road, shortly before 10 p.m. Sunday. There, they found the 62-year-old victim with a gunshot wound to her upper chest, authorities said. She was taken to a hospital, where she was described as stable.
Investigators determined Beasley shot his grandmother following “a brief verbal altercation,” police said in a statement. He left the apartment after firing the shot, authorities said.
Within about an hour, officers found Beasley in the area. He was arrested and taken to the DeKalb County jail.
