A dispute that had been building for days ended in gunfire on the evening of Friday, March 6, 2026, at the West Ridge Shopping Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Atlanta. The shooting killed 37-year-old Edrisha Prater and wounded a 51-year-old man, according to police and the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Authorities say the violence grew out of an ongoing conflict between people who knew one another rather than a random attack. Two individuals were detained at the scene; officials have not released their names or said whether charges were filed. Details about what sparked the confrontation have not been made public and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone witnessed the shooting at West Ridge Shopping Center or has information about the dispute that preceded it, please share what is known with investigators.
