ATLANTA — The four women killed when a deadly Tuesday evening shooting rampage moved from Acworth to Atlanta were named Friday morning. The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office identified the women working at the Gold Spa and Aroma Therapy Spa massage parlors when police say 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long entered the respective businesses armed with a 9 mm handgun. Soon C. Park, 74, Hyun J. Grant, 51, Suncha Kim, 69, and Young A. Sue, 63, were killed in the attacks at the two businesses, according to the Medical Examiner's Office. Three of the women were shot in the head, the Medical Examiner reports, and the fourth woman was discovered with gunshot wounds to her chest. Police say Long purchased a gun Tuesday before going to Young's Asian Massage in Cherokee County and opening fire inside the business. There, 33-year-old Delaina Ashley Yaun of Acworth, Paul Andre Michels, 54, of Atlanta, 49-year-old Xiaojie Yan of Kennesaw, and Daoyou Feng, 44 were killed, while 30-year-old Elcias R. Hernandez-Ortiz of Acworth was injured. About an hour later, police say Long was in northeast Atlanta, nearly 35 miles south of the first incident, where he attacked employees at Gold Spa in the 1900 block of Piedmont Road, then Aroma Therapy across the street. All four women at the Atlanta spas and two women killed in Acworth were of Asian descent. As a result, the Asian American Resource Center has set up a Go Fund Me website to help the families of the victims. Independent of that, Go Fund Me websites also have been established for Kim, Michels, Yuan, and Hernandez-Ortiz.
