Prosecutor seeking death penalty for Atlanta spas shooter

Published May 11, 2021 7:01pm ET



The man accused of killing eight people at three separate Atlanta-area spas was indicted on several murder charges, and the prosecutor will seek additional hate crime charges and the death penalty.

A Fulton County grand jury in Georgia indicted Robert Aaron Long, 22, on Tuesday in the March 16 killing of four people — Suncha Kim, 69; Soon Chung Park, 74; Hyun Jung Grant, 51; and Yong Ae Yue, 63. Long allegedly killed these four people at two of the spas, while the victims in the third assault (Delaina Ashley Yaun, 33; Paul Andre Michels, 54; Xiaojie Tan, 49; and Daoyou Feng, 44) were killed in a different jurisdiction.
