The DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office says an Atlanta man was convicted for a deadly shooting on Valentine’s Day in 2021.
DA Sherry Boston’s announcement said Jamaar Bracey was convicted on multiple charges, including malice murder, after shooting a man in his car. The victim died months later in the hospital after being shot in the head, the DA’s office said.
The DA’s office said they first became aware of the incident on Feb. 14, 2021, when the DeKalb Police Department and the DeKalb Fire Rescue Department responded to a call about an overturned vehicle in an embankment along Warriors Path in an unincorporated part of the county.

Working to get someone out of the vehicle, first responders removed 31-year-old Rodney Evans from the driver’s seat and found him with a single gunshot wound to the head, the DA’s office said.
While they were able to get Evans to the hospital, he eventually succumbed to his injuries on June 3, 2021.
