David Barnes, 35, was shot and killed inside an East Point apartment just before noon on January 28, 2022. Barnes, an African American man employed by the City of East Point’s Public Works Department since 2020, was in the apartment with his 44-year-old girlfriend, Latasha Davine Bittle, when the shooting occurred.

Four children were present in the home during the incident; none of the juveniles were physically injured. After the shooting, Bittle called police and told them she had shot her boyfriend. Barnes was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital but was pronounced dead. Bittle was taken into custody and charged with homicide in connection with his death.

Does anyone have information about Barnes, his movements that day, or the household that could help clarify what happened?
