Arthur Archie Eversole, 37, was found with a gunshot wound at a Chevron on Snapfinger Woods Drive in Decatur, Georgia, on March 25, 2022. He had been shot in the jaw and was taken to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries on April 3, 2022. Investigators say the shooting happened at a nearby home on Golf Vista Circle, at the residence where his brother, Alexander Kraus, was located.

Authorities arrested Kraus at the Golf Vista Circle home and initially charged him with aggravated assault; after Eversole’s death the charge was upgraded to murder. Prosecutors allege a violent struggle in Eversole’s bedroom, noting a damaged lock and door, and contend Eversole was shot with a .357 pistol while he was sleeping. Some close to the family disputed a malicious motive: Eversole’s manager characterized the shooting as an accident and the brothers’ mother expressed belief in Kraus’s innocence, while the DeKalb District Attorney’s Office pointed to prior violence between them, including an open battery and disorderly conduct case listing Kraus as a victim.

Kraus was denied bond in April 2022. Does anyone have information about the events at the Golf Vista Circle residence or the days before March 25, 2022?
