A fatal shooting took place at a McDonald’s in Atlanta’s West End district on Wednesday, resulting in the death of a woman. The deceased has been identified as Tamanika Woods. Authorities have apprehended and charged a 19-year-old woman, T’Niya Evans, with murder in relation to the incident.
The Atlanta police department reported that the shooting was the result of an escalating disagreement between Woods and another patron at the fast-food establishment located on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard SW. Evans is now facing multiple charges, including murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and receiving stolen property. She is currently being held at Fulton County Jail.
Woods, known to her loved ones as “Nene,” was in her 30s and a devoted mother to four children. Those close to her remember her as a loving and caring individual.
After sustaining critical injuries from the shooting, Woods was immediately transported to Grady Memorial Hospital. Unfortunately, she did not survive her injuries. Authorities believe the shooting was the result of a physical altercation.
Eyewitnesses at the scene reported that patrons inside the McDonald’s managed to restrain the alleged shooter until law enforcement arrived. Thankfully, no children were in the restaurant at the time of the incident. The establishment has since resumed operations.
The investigation into the shooting is still in progress. Detectives are working diligently to gather evidence and fully comprehend the circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
