A predawn argument in DeKalb County ended with fatal gunshot wounds to 50-year-old Tywarn Jones. The shooting occurred in the 5500 block of Marbut Road, where Jones was struck and badly wounded. A witness drove him onto Interstate 285 southbound and stopped near the Glenwood Road exit to call for help. DeKalb County Police arrived about 3:06 a.m. on April 7, 2026, and Jones was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died. The DeKalb County Medical Examiner confirmed his identity.

Investigators say the shooting grew out of a dispute among people who knew one another. Two days later, on April 9, 2026, 45-year-old Anessa Burton was arrested and charged with murder in connection with Jones’s death. The investigation into what led to the argument and shooting is ongoing.
