Charlie Brown, 32, was shot and later died after being found unresponsive with an apparent gunshot wound on April 7, 2026, in South Fulton, Georgia. Officers were called about 4:30 p.m. near the 7000 building at 1925 Waycrest Drive; Brown was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in critical condition and later died from his injuries.

Police say the incident began with an argument involving Brown and a woman identified as Veronica Johnson. As Brown walked away, Johnson and an unidentified man were reportedly seen following him, and moments later Brown was shot. Investigators also said Johnson had been seen with another woman and a man before the shooting, but the roles of those individuals were unclear in the early stages of the inquiry.

South Fulton police named Johnson a person of interest and released images seeking help to locate her. No arrest or charges had been announced and no murder weapon was reported recovered. A reward of up to $5,000 was offered for information leading to an arrest. If anyone knew Brown, saw the confrontation, or has information about the people seen following him, contact South Fulton police or Crime Stoppers Atlanta.
