A 25-year-old woman is on life support after her brother allegedly shot her in the head Wednesday in south Fulton County.

Siblings Jazzy and Marquavious Kuykendall “were in an argument that turned into a physical struggle over a gun when (Jazzy) was shot,” College Park Deputy Chief Ferman Williford told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The shooting occurred at a house on Godby Road, police said.

Kuykendall, 22, was arrested on multiple charges, including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, aggravated battery and possession of marijuana less than one ounce, according to Fulton County Jail records.
