On June 24, 2020, at about 2:10 a.m., Roswell officers responded to a home in the 200 block of South Atkinson Avenue after a distress call from the mother of Omar and Alberto Ceballos. Medics pronounced 40-year-old Omar Ceballos dead at the scene; he had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators identified Omar’s brother, 34-year-old Alberto Ceballos, as the primary suspect. At the time, Alberto was out on conditions of release from prior charges including DWI and unlawful taking of a motor vehicle. An arrest warrant was issued charging him with first-degree murder and felon in possession of a firearm. On June 29, 2020, officers stopped a vehicle on Roswell’s east side and took Alberto into custody without incident; he was a passenger and the vehicle was seized pending a search warrant. The female driver was interviewed and was not charged in connection with the shooting.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who saw or heard anything around 2:10 a.m. on June 24, 2020, that could help clarify what happened?
