Prianna Weathers, 31, was fatally shot just after 12:50 a.m. on April 13, 2026, outside a Checkers restaurant on Wesley Chapel Road in Decatur. Police found her near the drive-thru; she was a mother to a 12-year-old son. Her killing was described by authorities as the first in a series of random attacks that spread across the Atlanta area that night, which left another woman dead and a man critically injured.

A suspect, 26-year-old Olaolukitan Adon Abel, was arrested later that day following a traffic stop in Troup County. Investigators say ammunition and shell casings recovered from his vehicle matched those from the first homicide scene. Abel, a U.S. Navy veteran born in the United Kingdom, had reportedly argued with roommates about the home’s air conditioning shortly before the attacks began. Authorities filed charges including malice murder and aggravated assault against him, and a second person, Damon Marquis Yarns, was arrested for allegedly illegally purchasing the firearm used in the shootings. The motive has not been officially released and the victims are believed to have been targeted at random.
