Atlanta Police got their man -- sort of.

Rodney Williams was shot during a late night home invasion robbery of his southwest side apartment on Landrum Drive Wednesday. He told police he was wounded in the arm and the leg when he tried to escape after two men forced their way inside.

That is when detective work began in earnest. Police  believe the thugs targeted Williams because he  peddled alcohol and candy from home. They charged the victim with selling liquor without a permit. Detectives are apparently looking for the gunmen.
