ATLANTA, GA – Police have charged a man connected to the shooting death of an Atlanta hookah lounge security guard earlier this month. Damon John-Michael Wilson, 21, was arrested last week and charged with Murder, Aggravated Assault, Possession of a Firearm during the Commission of a Felony, and Simple Battery. Early on the morning of Feb. 2, police were called to the Encore Hookah Bar at 320 Luckie Street, near the Georgia Aquarium.
