Woman accused of shooting boyfriend at Arbor Place mall

A 41-year-old woman was arrested Monday for allegedly shooting her boyfriend in the Arbor Place mall parking lot, according to Douglasville police.

Officers were called at 12:09 p.m Sunday to the Douglas Boulevard mall and found a man with multiple gunshot wounds, police said. Demetrius Forts, 32, was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Forts remained in the hospital Monday, police said.

The suspect was identified as 41-year-old Porsona Lashelle Holland. She was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery.

“It is believed Ms. Holland and Mr. Forts were involved in a relationship, and this incident was not a random act of violence,” police said in a social media post.

Sunday’s shooting was the first in several months at metro Atlanta shopping malls.

Last summer, shootings were reported at Southlake Mall and North Point Mall.
