 A heartbreaking event transpired in Buckhead on Sunday when it was reported that a father fatally shot his son during a domestic altercation at an apartment complex located on Pharr Road, as stated by the Atlanta Police Department.

Officials indicate that the police were initially dispatched after receiving a report about a confrontation between a woman and her boyfriend, 32-year-old Durante Schofield, who were allegedly involved in an intense argument. While law enforcement was conversing with the woman, Schofield’s father, 54-year-old Durante Tolliver, showed up at the scene following contact from her.

Shortly thereafter, witnesses reported that Tolliver drew a gun and fired at his son, hitting him as many as twelve times in the parking area. Schofield was declared deceased at the location before medical personnel could provide assistance.
