Acworth Police say a man is dead after a shooting on Cowan Road off of I-75 around 2:45 a.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n
ACWORTH, Ga. \u2014 Acworth Police says a man died after being shot early Saturday morning while breaking up a fight at a bar on Cowan Road off of I-75.<\/p>\n
The manager at Saddle Bar says the man who died was not just a customer \u2014 he was part of the bar\u2019s security team.<\/p>\n
Cell phone video posted to Instagram shows what the atmosphere inside the bar looked like Friday night.<\/p>\n
In the video, a band can be seen playing while people dance and enjoy the music.<\/p>\n
But just before 2: 45 a.m. Saturday, the mood quickly changed.<\/p>\n
“You want people to feel safe when they go out and everything like that, especially guys who are here to do a job and keep the energy what it should be and everything,” said Tyler Winters, a patron.<\/p>\n
Winters was the drummer seen playing in the Instagram video. He said he had already gone home before the shooting happened.<\/p>\n
“There was a good energy and things like that. No vibes of what was going to be happening later in the evening,” Winters said.<\/p>\n
Investigators say they have arrested the suspected gunman, identified as Daniel Di Vonne Parsons.<\/p>\n
Parsons is charged with two counts of aggravated assault and felony murder.<\/p>\n
Authorities say the name of the man who died has not yet been released because next of kin have not been notified.<\/p>\n
The bar had just opened within the last few weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Acworth Police say a man is dead after a shooting on Cowan Road off of I-75 around 2:45…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":509689,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-509688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=509688"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509688\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/509689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=509688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=509688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=509688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
