A street fight at an apartment complex in College Park, Georgia, on April 4, 2015, left 15-year-old Pierre Tilson dead. According to accounts, the altercation began after Pierre and his sisters were accused of mocking someone; Pierre went to fetch his mother, 33-year-old Latoya Tilson, who came out to confront the group. Latoya Tilson was reportedly struck in the face during the brawl, then retrieved a .25 caliber handgun and fired several shots into the crowd. One bullet struck Pierre in the back of the head; he was found unconscious and not breathing, taken to Grady Hospital, and died on April 6, 2015. Another teenager was wounded but not fatally.

Latoya Tilson was arrested and initially charged with aggravated assault, reckless conduct, and cruelty to children; after Pierre’s death the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office upgraded charges to second-degree murder. While in custody authorities say they uncovered an alleged escape plot connected to a possible jail visit for her son’s viewing. What details can anyone add about the moments before the shooting or the people who were present?
