The AJC is reporting that a man has been “shot in the head” near the 2070 block of Ridgedale Road in Kirkwood, and that Atlanta PD homicide detectives are en route.

Fresh Loaf reports that APD has made an arrest in the senseless shooting of Kirkwood resident Kenneth Hagen, who was shot while mowing his front yard late last month.

Atlanta police have charged 18-year-old Terrance Donell Hambrick with last month’s robbery and shooting of Kenneth Hagen in Kirkwood.

…According to police, Hambrick was arrested last week for probation violation and has been in the DeKalb County jail since then. In the meantime, someone phoned in a tip to the Crime Stoppers tip line, leading the APD yesterday to charge Hambrick with aggravated battery, aggravated assault, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery, and theft by receiving a stolen car.
