A Georgia gunman is wanted by the DeKalb County police after he shot and killed a tow truck business operator who was teaching a new driver.
The 25-year-old suspect, Victor Richardson, is wanted in connection to the shooting death of Christopher Harrold at the Chevron gas station on Memorial Drive.
“It’s heartbreaking to see so much Black-on-Black crime and all you hear is ‘Black lives matter,” Christopher’s wife, Maya Harrold told a reporter.
Mrs. Harrold never imagined that her husband, who had helped so many people, would be gunned down while trying to help somebody.
Police said the student in Christopher’s tow truck got into an argument with a third man at the gas station and that argument led to gunfire.
“He put my husband in harm’s way and he was trying to help him and give him a job Chris did not deserve that, he just did not deserve that,” Mrs. Harrold said.
Police said when the bullets started flying, the business owner and father of five was hit, but the student was not.
Mrs. Harrold said her husband was an innocent bystander who came from humble beginnings but connected with everyone.
“It didn’t matter whether you were homeless or the most prominent attorney in Atlanta, it didn’t matter or an Entertainer. Everybody loves Chris,” she said.
The Harrold family said they want the shooter arrested.
“I think everyone should be arrested. I want justice for Chris because he was innocent,” she said.
Police have video of the incident but they are still not yet ready to release it.
