On November 9, 2024, two men were shot to death inside a rooming home on Bolton Road in Atlanta. Victims were 61-year-old Leonard Bridges and 66-year-old Jerome Johnson. Bridges was a father of four and a grandfather; his daughter remembered him as a loving individual who will be deeply missed. The motive for the shootings has not been made clear.

A 52-year-old man, Leatories Carter, returned to the scene and was arrested by Atlanta police. He was booked into the Fulton County Jail on charges including murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. The families of Bridges and Johnson have spoken publicly about their grief and called for an end to gun violence.

If anyone has information about what led to the shootings or knew Leonard Bridges, please come forward to assist investigators.
