FAYETTE COUNTY, GEORGIA — Authorities are actively seeking 19-year-old Adrian Jelks, a Walmart employee accused of shooting two individuals at a Walmart in Fayetteville on Pavillion Parkway around 10 p.m. last Friday. The incident resulted in the death of 19-year-old Antavius Holton of Riverdale and left a nine-year-old girl wounded; both were found by officers upon arrival.
