Two months after a fatal shooting on Howell Mill Road, Atlanta authorities have arrested Michael Cosby, born December 1982. He faces multiple charges, including murder and illegal firearm possession. Captured by Hapeville Police on Tuesday, the news of his arrest has brought attention to the case.
According to an Atlanta Police Department news release, the initial incident occurred earlier this year, when police responded to an early morning call. There, they discovered a 34-year-old male victim with a gunshot wound, whose life could not be sustained despite medical efforts. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, and the investigation has been ongoing ever since.
Cosby faces murder, aggravated assault, and firearm possession during a felony. While his arrest may suggest progress, it's important to remember that an arrest does not guarantee a conviction, and all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
