The victim's mother told police it all started when Roberts refused his parents' orders to remain inside and comply with the current shelter in place order. Police said the teen later returned home then kicked in the door to the house. According to police, that's when Roberts got into a physical fight with his stepdad, 42-year-old Bernie Hargrove.

Atlanta police said the deadly shooting is a sad reminder that domestic calls have increased during the pandemic. They said with so many people staying at home, pressures can build up within a family.
