DORAVILLE, Ga. — A shooting Monday at the Honduran consulate just outside Atlanta left one person dead and another injured, and a suspect was in custody, authorities said.

The person who was killed was a Mexican citizen who worked as a security guard at the consulate, the Mexican Foreign Affairs secretary said in a statement posted on the social platform X.

Doraville police responded to a report of gunshots around 2:30 p.m. and found two people who had been shot, city spokesperson Emily Heenan said. One of the people was declared dead at the scene and the other was taken to a hospital for treatment, she said.

A suspect was taken into custody at the scene and was taken to the Doraville police station for questioning, Heenan said. She did not provide any information about a possible motive for the shooting.

The shooting happened right outside the front entrance of the consulate, Heenan said. Officers remained at the scene to interview witnesses and gather evidence.

Heenan said she couldn’t release any more information about the victims or the suspected shooter because police were still in the process of contacting family members.

The Mexican government has offered help to local authorities and the family of the Mexican citizen and asked for a transparent investigation.

ATLANTA – The Atlanta Habitat for Humanity ReStore is honoring former President Jimmy Carter with a memorial door, giving the public a unique way to leave tributes, share memories, and celebrate his legacy. The door, a symbolic representation of a home’s threshold, will be available for signing at the Atlanta ReStore located at 271 Chester Ave. from Tuesday through Jan. 9. It will then be moved to the South Fulton ReStore, located at 5626 Old National Highway in College Park, from Jan. 10 through Jan. 16. Afterward, the door will return to Atlanta Habitat’s headquarters, where it will be permanently displayed.

“We’re very excited to be one of many Habitat affiliates across the nation celebrating Jimmy Carter,” said Megan McCabe, director of the Atlanta Habitat for Humanity ReStore. “We figured this was a fun and easy way for folks to leave tributes and celebrate his legacy.”

Carter, who passed away on Dec 29, was deeply involved with Habitat for Humanity. Although not its founder, he and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter became celebrated volunteers for the organization, beginning in the 1980s. Their efforts included the 1988 Carter Work Project in Atlanta, where 21 homes were built in a single week, leaving a lasting legacy in the city.

“Most people think that Jimmy Carter founded us, but he’s actually been a very celebrated volunteer since the ’80s,” McCabe said. “The Carter Work Project around the Olympics was a huge success and remains a significant part of Atlanta’s history.”

The memorial door aims to capture the public’s admiration for Carter’s life and work. McCabe emphasized the symbolic importance of a door in Habitat for Humanity’s mission, calling it “the threshold for somebody’s home” and a fitting tribute to Carter’s dedication to affordable housing.

Visitors are encouraged to stop by during store hours, Tuesday through Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., between [specific start date] and [specific end date], to leave messages on the door. According to McCabe, many families have already left heartfelt tributes. “We hope it will be full of color and comments by the time it’s ready for its permanent home,” she said.

Exactly one month from today will be the NBA Trade Deadline and there is still some uncertainity as to what will go down at the deadline. Star players like Jimmy Butler and Brandon Ingram have been talked about as players who could be dealt, but it could end up just being smaller moves and rotation players that get moved. The Atlanta Hawks could actually be a team to watch. Last season, the Hawks were one of the most talked about teams leading up to the deadline, but there was a different feeling around that team. Whether or not Atlanta is a buyer or a seller at the deadline, this team has young building blocks to lean on going forward, but they have some roster questions that could get answered at the deadline.

The names that have been brought up in trade rumors over the past month or so have been centers Larry Nance and Clint Capela, as well as Bogdan Bogdanovic. Both players are on expiring deals and might not be a part of the teams future and Atlanta could look to flip one of them for assets.

In a recent article, ESPN Insiders named Larry Nance as the player to watch on Atlanta ahead of the deadline:

“The Hawks are in a position where they can stay conservative at the deadline and still find themselves avoiding the play-in. If they do look to tweak their roster, Nance’s $11.2 million expiring contract has the most value. Before breaking his right hand on Dec. 28, Nance was playing his best basketball, averaging 11.2 points, 7.6 rebounds in the previous five games.

One trade that would improve the Hawks’ backcourt depth is flipping Nance for Spurs guard Tre Jones. The Hawks rank 24th in turnovers and have allowed the fourth-most points off turnovers per game.”

It would surprise nobody if the Hawks moved either Capela or Nance at the deadline and the two areas I would look for the Hawks to try and upgrade at the deadline are backup point guard and backup power forward. While the Hawks still need to figure out their solution at the center in the long term, they are unlikely to find that guy by the deadline. The Hawks have glaring issues at backup point guard and backup power forward and either Nance or Capela could help them find that guy.
