Police officer at center of homicide investigation
SUMMARY: Valerie Anderson is seeking justice for her son, Devon, who was shot three times by off-duty Atlanta police officer Melvin Potter outside Nikki’s Smoking Bar on August 5th. Surveillance footage captured Potter leaving the bar shortly after an argument broke out in the parking lot, leading to Devon’s death. Although Potter was arrested, he has not been charged with homicide but rather for refusing a blood draw post-shooting. Anderson is determined to hold Potter accountable and demands truth and transparency regarding the incident.
Atlanta Police officer Melvin Potter was convicted of DUI in 2021 in Coweta County. He’s now accused of killing a man outside a bar in South Fulton: https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/mother-demands-justice-off-duty-apd-officer-shot-killed-her-son-despite-not-being-charged-for-it/85-b657868f-3f1a-4143-a8ec-99d5d9c5fe34
