Charles Smith was shot multiple times and died at the scene on Saturday, January 19, 2019, on Wyndham Park Circle in an unincorporated Decatur neighborhood. The killing stunned residents and prompted an immediate investigation.

A warrant was issued the following day for 27-year-old Brandon Tyrone Smith of Decatur, who was reported to be the victim’s nephew. He was located by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Unit at a business in Atlanta, taken into custody without incident, and transported to the DeKalb County Jail. He was charged with felony murder and held without bond.

The motive for the shooting has not been made clear. Does anyone in the Decatur area have information about Charles Smith, his family, or what might have led to this violence?
