Police: Man killed teen who knocked on wrong door in Atlanta
ATLANTA (AP) — A man fatally shot a teenager who accidentally knocked on the wrong apartment door in Atlanta, a television station reported. It happened about 12:30 a.m. Friday at The Retreat apartment complex in southwest Atlanta, according to WSB-TV .
Omarian Banks, 19, was dropped off by a Lyft near the wrong breezeway in the complex, the television station quoted police as saying. Banks and his girlfriend had just moved to the complex and Banks wasn’t familiar with the area, police said. Banks was using FaceTime to talk with his girlfriend when he knocked on the door he thought was his. Shortly after, he walked away.
=================================
So this black kid knocks on the wrong door, leaves & is going down the stairs when the white resident came out, shouted an ethnic slur, & shot the kid with a pistol, killing him. And he is claiming self defense.
