A dispute between two barbers over a client at a southwest Atlanta barbershop turned deadly on November 14, 2024, when 53-year-old Stephen Everson was shot multiple times inside Up Next Barber Shop & Beauty in the Princeton Lakes Shopping Center on Carmia Drive. Medical crews pronounced Everson dead at the scene after responding around 10:15 a.m. A client described him as a gentle man and a devoted father of five.

Shortly after the shooting, 44-year-old barber James Moss surrendered to a sheriff’s deputy nearby and was later arrested by the Atlanta Police Department; he has been charged with murder and booked into the Fulton County Jail. Few other details about the altercation or motives have been released.

If anyone was in or near the barbershop that morning or knew Everson, please share what you remember with investigators.
