A family dispute in a Brookhaven apartment turned fatal on the morning of May 2, 2024. Clinton Dorsey, 48, a producer in the Atlanta music scene known as D-Billz, was found with a gunshot wound to his chest inside an apartment at the Arium Lenox Park complex on Gables Drive after a confrontation with his son.

According to reports, the argument began over the family’s dog breeding business and escalated from words to a physical fight. Edward Dorsey, 22, is said to have retrieved a semi-automatic pistol and shot his father. Edward was arrested at the scene and booked into the DeKalb County Jail on charges of voluntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Reports after the shooting say Edward alleged a history of abuse by his father dating to 2019.
