A Fayetteville man was shot and killed June 22 in Fairburn's Lightning

district when a man got in his car and shot him as they were driving

away. Fairburn Police Captain H. E. Miller said it is suspected that

Christian Underwood, 25, was attempting to purchase drugs in the area

late on June 22. Underwood, who lived in the Four Seasons community in

Fayetteville, may have triggered the crime by flashing a large sum of

money in view of the assailant, officials said a warrant for the arrest

of the individual involved has been issued and an All Points Bulletin

was also issued to try and catch the offender. Miller said the department

has a suspect in the case, but is not releasing details.

City Administrator Jim Williams said that the incident "has caused

an awakening" in the Fairburn Police Department who have begun cracking

down on crime in the area. Plans to install a camera system in the Lightning

District have been recently discussed at Fairburn's City Council

meetings, but no concrete decisions have been set.
