Atlanta police have now charged a southwest Atlanta homeowner who opened fire on two teenagers he believed were stealing packages from his porch — a confrontation that left one teen critically wounded and has ignited fierce debate across the city.
The shooting unfolded Dec. 11 at the Villages of Cascade townhome community near Benjamin E. Mays Drive. According to FOX 5, Rakim Bradford, 34, called a co-worker and shared a version of events immediately after the shooting.
That co-worker told detectives Bradford said he had been inside his home on Celeste Lane cleaning his gun when he got a notification that a package had arrived. When he opened the door to retrieve it, he allegedly saw three males he believed were stealing the package. The witness said Bradford later told him the gun “went off” and that he thought he had hit one of the teens in the back.
