Two groups were selling shirts following a Creed and 3 Doors Down concert at the State Farm Arena on December 4 around 10 p.m. City police said an argument over parking broke out between the groups and one group began shooting at the other about a block from the arena. Homicide Unit Commander Lt. Andrew Smith told the outlet it appears the shots only came from one group. The band started in the mid-’90s and has produced hits like “Higher,” “With Arms Wide Open” and “My Sacrifice.” Atlanta has seen more than 100 homicides in 2024 so far but officials say the trend is down from the year prior.
