The Lilburn community is reeling from the tragic events that unfolded at Tana Food Mart on Saturday night, resulting in the loss of Tigist Lulesgud, a beloved member of the community. Lulesgud, a 57-year-old woman, was tragically killed in the shooting incident that also left 62-year-old Yeshetela Abebe, a store employee and close family friend, with a gunshot wound to the leg.
The alleged shooter has been identified as 62-year-old Teodros Shibeshi, who was the former brother-in-law of Lulesgud. The shocking turn of events has left the community grappling with the complexities of the relationships involved and struggling to come to terms with the senseless violence that claimed Lulesgud’s life.
