A party in a Brookhaven apartment on Buford Highway turned deadly after a dispute that began Saturday night and continued into the early hours of Sunday. Jose Manuel Ozuna-Ruiz, a 44-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and pronounced dead at the scene on January 22, 2023. Police responded to a 911 call about multiple people shot around 10:30 a.m. and found four men with gunshot wounds inside the apartment.

Authorities say the violence grew out of a disagreement between Ozuna-Ruiz and another man at the gathering. The suspected shooter was among the three wounded and was hospitalized; law enforcement identified him as the alleged perpetrator and charged him with felony murder and aggravated assault, though his name had not been released while he remained under medical care. Two firearms were recovered in the apartment. The other two injured men were not charged in the incident.

If anyone has information about the argument that led to this shooting or was at the party that night, please share what is known.
