In September 2020, there was a shooting incident on Cherry Wood Drive that prompted multiple 911 calls. The Stone Mountain Police swiftly responded to the scene and discovered a 19-year-old named Young lying face down in the road, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Haile was spotted by the police standing outside a residence, with two handguns in front of him. One of the handguns belonged to Young, while the other was Haile’s own. When questioned by the police, Haile claimed that he had also been shot and was subsequently taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries.
