2nd suspect ID’d in 12-year-old’s shooting at Cobb shopping complex

Cobb County police have secured warrants for a second suspect following a shooting that injured a 12-year-old boy earlier this month outside a busy Cumberland shopping center.

Deshawn Lemons faces four felonies in connection with the March 16 shooting, including aggravated assault, aggravated battery, child cruelty and criminal damage to property, records show. He had not been booked into the Cobb County Jail as of Wednesday evening and it wasn’t immediately clear if police are still searching for him.

The child was struck by a stray bullet from an AK-47 during a barrage of gunfire outside the Parkway Pointe complex, police said.
