Sammy Lee Roberts, 22, shot and killed a man and injured another man and his girlfriend at the home where he allegedly beat up his girlfriend in May, acconrding to a report in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Roberts fatally shot Kelly and wounded two others following an argument at the Hickory Park apartments on Delano Road, according to police.

Roberts tried to get in to retrieve a gun from the apartment he shared with Pearson, but when he could not, he left and returned with another pistol, according to police reports.

Roberts somehow made his way into the apartment and shot the three inside, hitting Pearson in her shoulder and Pickens in his back.

Roberts, who has a child with Pearson, had been arrested on May 2 for allegedly beating her and breaking out her car window.

At the time, Pearson told police she had pointed a gun at him while he was hitting her. Roberts said she tried to run him over with her car.

According to Fulton County jail records, Roberts was charged with battery, family violence and criminal trespassing, and released June 2.
