DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. – A suspect is in police custody following a fatal shooting at a DeKalb County beauty shop. The 23-year-old owner of the beauty shop was shot and killed at Ermy’s Hair Salon on Buford Highway Thursday night.
Authorities arrested Rodas Teklu in connection with the shooting and said Teklu is an acquaintance of the victim, Gebeyehu “Erimias” Awoke. Awoke’s family said he will be buried in his native country, Ethiopia.
First of all I would like to say my heart goes out to the family. Whatever the reason is for this act, ending a person’s life is not the solution. Ermias wasn’t the type of person who can do such a harm to people especially if she was his g.friend but God only knows what lead her into doing such hurtful act to end his life. I can’t explain how deeply sorry I am to his family.
May God bless his soul.
Hewan…
I am sorry this had to happen to my friend. God be with her….
That is not love. Love is giving not killing. Anyways, Roda u did not kill one person, but in grief u killed his mom, brother and sister.
whatever my friend did she will always be in my heart but one thing i know for sure is that there might one big reason for her to do this kind of thing . God give u the strength i will always love u.
