16-year-old shot by deputy

The Fortson family is mourning the tragic loss of 16-year-old Andre Fortson, who was fatally shot in a breezeway at the Summit Hill Apartments in DeKalb County, Georgia, just two months after his brother, U.S. Airman Roger Fortson, was killed by a Florida deputy. Andre was reportedly an innocent bystander caught in crossfire between two groups, and neighbors attempted to help him before he succumbed to his injuries. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump stated that the family is devastated by the ongoing violence affecting them. A 20-year-old suspect, Quintavious Zellner, has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault in connection with the shooting. The Fortson family is grappling with the emotional toll of losing another young member, echoing their grief from Roger's death during a controversial police encounter. Community members expressed their sorrow, recalling Andre as a respectful and good-natured boy with dreams ahead of him.
