ATLANTA — A dispute early Thursday morning escalates into gunfire in Buckhead and a father is now charged with killing his son.

The shooting in the parking lot of the Pharr Road apartment complex comes after an earlier argument between a man and his girlfriend brought the man’s father and Atlanta police to the scene.

Officers were actually inside the apartment talking to the woman at the time of the shooting.

“While on scene, one of the involved parties exited the residence. Officers heard gunshots. They responded outside,” said Atlanta Homicide Lt. Christopher Butler.

Butler says the 32-year-old died from multiple gunshot wounds.

54-year-old Durante Tolliver now faces multiple charges, including murder.
