A teenage argument over a video game controller ended in a fatal shooting in Lithia Springs, Georgia. Seventeen-year-old Gonzalo Lamar Gonzalez-Abara was killed on June 10, 2019, inside a residence at the Lakeside Mobile Home Park off Bankhead Highway. Deputies responded about 12:45 a.m. after a caller reported a loud noise and saw a group of teenagers leaving the home.
Authorities say the dispute was between two teenagers and escalated when Gabriel Cruz, also identified as Gabriel Martinez Cruz, fired a handgun, striking Gonzalez-Abara. Cruz was arrested and charged with malice murder and tampering with evidence in connection with the shooting. Gonzalo Lamar Gonzalez-Abara’s life ended during a confrontation that began over a controller.
If anyone saw the group that left the residence or has information about the moments before the shooting, please share what is known.
