Officials captured a man suspected in one of three shootings that left eight people dead Tuesday across metropolitan Atlanta.

Robert Aaron Long, 21, of Woodstock, was identified as the suspect in the shooting at Young’s Asian Massage Parlor, where four people were killed and one person was injured, according to the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office. He was captured Tuesday night in Crisp County, about 150 miles south of Atlanta.

Less than two hours after the first shooting, four more people were killed in shootings at two separate massage parlors near one another on Piedmont Road, according to interim Atlanta police Chief Rodney Bryant.

Police first responded to Gold Spa, where they found three women dead from gunshot wounds, spokesman Sgt. John Chafee said. While investigating the scene, officers were called across the street to another shooting at Aromatherapy Spa, where they found another woman dead from a gunshot wound inside.

Officials have said it is too early to tell whether the incidents are connected, but the shootings took place at spas where a majority of the employees are Asian. Atlanta police said that all four victims on Piedmont Road appeared to be Asian women.

The Village of Palmetto Bay is engaged in a fight with the Miami-Dade County Commission for its character and soul. At issue is the building of unneeded bridges across the village. These bridges will extend travel for only a few blocks, reduce travel by only a few minutes, cost millions, benefit money-eyed contractors and put our community in danger.

Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins — who was appointed, not elected

— by using a COVID-19 emergency excuse, placed a motion to further bridge construction without requiring public discussion.

This is an abuse of power by the county. Any community in the countycould be next.
