On Sunday afternoon, May 3, 2026, gunfire in a Marietta apartment building left 62-year-old Lucinda Bailey dead. Responding to a 4:15 p.m. 911 call from Bailey’s roommate, officers found her in a third-floor hallway with a gunshot wound. She was taken to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital and later died of her injuries.

Police identified 61-year-old Angela Freeman, Bailey’s upstairs neighbor, as the person allegedly responsible. Freeman was taken into custody at the scene and charged with murder, aggravated assault with a weapon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime; she was booked into the Cobb County Adult Detention Center and is being held without bond. Motive has not been released and investigators from the Major Crimes Unit continue to piece together what happened in the hallway.

Does anyone who lived at the Roselane Street complex or who knew either woman have information about their relationship or what led to this confrontation?
