Mother seeks justice for son killed in Southwest Atlanta

ATLANTA — An Atlanta mother is grieving, after her 18-year-old son was shot and killed.

Police are now investigating the shooting that happened on Campbellton Road in Southwest Atlanta.

“You took away my soul. You took away my best friend. My best friend. All of my kids are my best friends. You took away my soul. You took away my heart,” Lakesha Lowe told Channel 2′s Larry Spruill.

Her son, Thomas J. Lowe, is gone.

Atlanta Police said Lowe was shot and killed at an apartment complex on Campbellton Road in Southwest Atlanta.

Police said both Lowe and a 16-year-old was shot. That victim is recovering.

Lowe said it doesn’t make sense, “I raised my son to be a good young man. My son didn’t sell drugs. He wasn’t in the streets. He didn’t do none of that.”

TRENDING STORIES:

Lowe has this to say to her son’s killer, “Why did you shoot my son in the freaking head? Why did you shoot my baby?”

Police are still looking for a suspect in this case. They’re asking anyone who knows anything to call them.

The family has started a GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral costs.

Seahawks Reveal Uniform Combination For Week 14 at Atlanta

The Seahawks will travel to Atlanta to take on the 4-8 Falcons at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Week 14. The team will wear their white jerseys and pants combination as they aim to win their 10^th game of the season.

The all-white uniform combination is one of the team’s least commonly worn road uniform combinations as they have only been worn 21 times since the team debuted them during the 2012 season. Sunday will be the fourth time since the beginning of the 2024 season that these uniforms will be seen in action as they were worn twice last season and once during this season so far. The Seahawks wore this set of uniforms in the Week 6 win at Jacksonville in October.

Live in metro Atlanta? Your next delivery from Walmart may be coming from the sky.

The retailer and automated drone company Wing is launching a new delivery system in metro Atlanta, just in time for the busy holiday shopping period.

Products eligible for the drone delivery include groceries, gifts, household goods, and over-the-counter medicine, the company announced.

Eligible customers can place orders through the Wing app and confirm the delivery location on their property. Once the package is loaded, the drones fly at around 60 mph about 150 feet off the ground. When the drone arrives at the drop-off location, it lowers the package to the ground without any assistance.

The companies estimate that flight delivery time will be about five minutes or less on average.

“Atlanta is a powerhouse in aviation, and we’re bringing the same spirit of speed and efficiency to thousands of Walmart customers across the Metro just in time for the busiest season of the year,” said Heather Rivera, Chief Business Officer at Wing. “This launch is a critical next step in our significant expansion, turning drone delivery from novelty to norm as residents make drone delivery part of their everyday shopping.”

Starting on Wednesday, the service will be available from six Walmart stores around the area:

Walmart Supercenter #575, 12182 GA-92, Woodstock, GA 30188
Walmart Supercenter #2475, 1436 Dogwood Dr SE, Conyers, GA 30013
Walmart Supercenter #3403, 3615 Charles Hardy Pkwy, Dallas, GA 30157
Walmart Supercenter #618, 4166 Jimmy Lee Smith Pkwy, Hiram, GA 30141
Walmart Supercenter #3201, 135 Willow Ln, McDonough, GA 30253
Walmart Supercenter #5252, 4221 Atlanta Hwy, Loganville, GA 30052

Walmart and Wing first launched the partnership in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The company is also set to expand its drone deliveries to Houston, Tampa, Orlando, and Charlotte.
