ROSWELL, GA — Roswell Police have arrested a 21-year-old after a shooting on Sunday that they say was an isolated, targeted incident. Tristan McGill, 21, of South Carolina, was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and theft by receiving stolen property. The investigation is still ongoing. At 2:20 p.m. on Sunday, Roswell's E911 Center received multiple calls from witnesses in the area of 1500 Martin Road who heard gunshots nearby. Officers determined the shooter ran into a nearby apartment complex, and a possible victim left in a car. Officers set up a perimeter, and were able to find and take him into custody. Officers found a handgun from McGill which had previously been reported stolen out of South Carolina. A 22-year-old male victim went to a local hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the leg. Investigators determined that McGill and the victim know each other, and believe this to be an isolated, targeted incident. There are no outstanding suspects. Roswell Police ask anyone with additional information to call 770-640-4100. Anonymous information can be provided as well through Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477.
