A Fulton County motorist was charged Wednesday with killing a man who had recently returned from duty in Iraq during a predawn argument on the streets of downtown Atlanta.
Charles Anthony Key, 23, surrendered early Wednesday morning at his Ninas Trace home south of Cascade Road, said Atlanta police spokesman Sgt. John Quigley.
Key is charged with the murder of Jack R. Snook, 24, of Hickory Bluff Drive in Forsyth County in what police say may have been a case of road rage.
Snook, a Marine, returned home about a month ago after a tour of duty in Iraq.
According to the police report, Snook's wife, Cara, was in the car when her husband was shot.
She called 911 about 4:40 a.m. near the intersection of West Peachtree Street and Linden Avenue. Police found Snook dead of a gunshot to the face, Quigley said.
According to witnesses, Quigley said, Snook was a passenger in a vehicle that had stopped at the traffic light next to the Renaissance Hotel, and got into an argument with a man in a dark Ford F-150 pickup truck.
Quigley said he did not know what started the argument or what it was about.
Witnesses said the argument became heated and Snook left the vehicle to confront the man in the pickup and was shot, Quigley said.
The shooter then sped away, headed north on West Peachtree, the report said.
Quigley said detectives were able to identify the suspect on information from witnesses.
Key is in custody at the Fulton County Jail, Quigley said.
SnookÕs grandfather, Bob Hausleiter, said Snook is survived by his wife and 7-year-old daughter.
"For this young man to come home and to die in his wife's arms, in downtown Atlanta, is just something none of us can accept," he said. — Staff writer Bill Montgomery and the Associated Press contributed to this article.
