A domestic dispute ended in violence on April 8, 2019, when 45-year-old James Curtis Jones of Atlanta was shot and killed in the parking garage of the Arrive Perimeter apartments in Dunwoody. Residents reported screams and gunfire shortly after 5 a.m.; police found Jones with a fatal chest wound and named 42-year-old Roy McClendon-Thompson, a McNair High School social studies teacher, as the suspect.

Three days earlier Jones had contacted police saying he felt threatened by McClendon-Thompson. An officer took statements from both men; McClendon-Thompson said he had blocked Jones after discovering alleged infidelity, and Jones said he had received threatening messages but declined to show them. When officers went to McClendon-Thompson’s home the morning of the shooting he fled in a Cadillac, led police on a pursuit and later died in a head-on crash in Clayton County.

Jones’s mother, Ruth Wilson, later sued the apartment complex, alleging inadequate security contributed to his death. Did anyone living at Arrive Perimeter in April 2019 notice unusual activity or security problems around the parking garage that morning?
