Police Investigate Buckhead Killing After Father Shoots 32-Year-Old Son

Investigators say an argument preceded the gunfire.

Overview

  • Atlanta police responded around 12:20 a.m. to a 911 call about a domestic dispute at an apartment complex in the 50 block of Pharr Avenue.
  • After officers interviewed a man and his girlfriend, the man went to the parking lot with his father, officers heard gunshots, and the 32-year-old was found dead.
  • Detectives report that at least five shots were fired and that the confrontation followed an argument between the father and son.
  • One FOX 5 report says the father, identified as 54-year-old Durante Tolliver, was charged with murder, aggravated assault, and a firearm offense, while another says no charges had yet been filed and interviews were ongoing.
  • Police initially suggested the girlfriend might work for the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, but the agency told FOX 5 she is not an employee.
