Francois told police he and Johnson drove to The Mile apartment complex on Barone Avenue to buy marijuana. Once they were inside an apartment, two men they didn’t know tried to rob Francois and Johnson and began firing shots, the police report said.
After the shooting, Francois carried Johnson to his car, placed him in the back seat and drove him to a nearby Waffle House where police later found them, according to the report.
Francois suffered gunshot wounds to his left arm and hip. Johnson was shot in his left upper rib cage; he was taken to Grady Memorial hospital where he later died.
According to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office, Griffin and McAllister shot at Francois and Johnson.
Griffin, McAllister and Singletary each face murder and aggravated assault charges, according to jail records. Griffin and McAllister also face armed robbery and possession of a firearm charges.
