ATLANTA (AP) — A man accused of killing eight people in shootings at three Atlanta-area massage businesses has been indicted on murder charges.
Six of the victims were women of Asian descent. A Fulton County prosecutor says she’ll seek hate crime charges and the death penalty after a grand jury indicted 22-year-old Robert Aaron Long on murder charges Tuesday.
The indictment only covers the four killings that happened at two spas in Atlanta.
It will be up to a separate grand jury in Cherokee County to decide on charges in the shooting at a spa near suburban Woodstock in which four were killed and one person was wounded.
