CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. - The 20-year-old Georgia man accused of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend from her job and then killing her during a showdown with police in the parking lot of a Clayton County school Sunday night was facing charges of kidnapping her exactly one year before.
FOX 5 spoke to the 19-year old's family, but emotions were still so raw. They were not ready to talk about the tragedy.
Officials with the Fayetteville Police Department tell FOX 5 that at around 11 p.m. Sunday, officers were called to reports of a kidnapping at a Wingstop restaurant on the 700 block of Flynn Street.
Callers told 911 operators that a man had entered the restaurant and forced his 19-year-old ex-girlfriend at gunpoint to come with him. The victim was an employee at the restaurant.
Police say the driver tried to flee, leading to a chase that ended at Lovejoy High School in Clayton County when officers used a PIT maneuver to stop the vehicle.
Now stalled in the middle of the school's entrance, the man fired shot at the officers and their patrol vehicles, leading them to take cover, investigators say.
"From the officer's perspective, he was able to see and hear gunshots inside of the vehicle," Capt. Myers commented.
During the standoff, police say the man fired multiple shots inside the Chevrolet, shooting and killing his reported abductee.
