Police were called to Fletcher’s Place, a restaurant at the Gallery at South DeKalb shortly before 11:30 p.m. after an argument over a woman escalated into gunfire, police said. Four men had been shot. One of them, 48-year-old Daletavios McGuire, died the following day.
The three others — Damon Davis, 37; Octavious Maddox, 38; and Draviounte Towns, 27 — were critically injured. Police did not immediately provide an update Sunday on the surviving victims’ conditions.

Zone 2 Officers Hear Gunshots During Roll Call-Break to Catch Suspect-Arrest Made nnOn June 7th, 2022, at approximately 2PM, Zone 2 Evening Watch officers were conducting roll call outside of the precinct when they heard two gunshots nearby. Officers immediately proceeded to the area of the gunfire and observed damage to a business at 3167 Peachtree Rd. NE.nnAs additional officers arrived to canvass the area, they observed a suspect fleeing the area and getting into a vehicle. A traffic stop was conducted on the vehicle in the area of 3305 Mathieson and the driver pulled over. The suspect, who was a passenger in the vehicle, then exited and fled on foot. At that time, Zone 2 officers were able to establish a strong perimeter in the residential neighborhood with assistance from Phoenix and K-9 officers.nnAfter an extensive search for the suspect, officers eventually observed him running in the area of Alberta Dr. and Mathieson Dr. After a brief foot chase, the suspect was taken into custody without incident and identified as Henok Gebremichael (Born 1989). nnOnce they were able to view the VIC cameras in the area, officers determined that the suspect appeared to have exchanged words with occupants of a vehicle prior to firing a handgun at them. Mr. Gebremichael was charged accordingly, to include several counts of reckless conduct and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. nnThe Atlanta Police Department is grateful for efforts of all of the officers involved in the apprehension of Mr. Gebremichael and would like to note the resources the department has on hand to address crime in the City of Atlanta, such as our Video Integration Center and various specialized units available to work towards the capture of violent offenders.
