Two arrested in South Fulton restaurant shooting that killed man, police say

Two young men are now behind bars in the fatal South Fulton restaurant shooting that killed 46-year-old Lyles Olumuyiwa, and police say surveillance video finally linked them to the case. Ah’zion Griggs, 18, of Albany, and Amarion Minor, 21, of Rex, were booked into the Fulton County Jail on April 6 and charged with murder, with FOX 5 Atlanta also reporting aggravated assault charges.

Olumuyiwa was shot on Oct. 1, 2025, at Lost In Da Sauce Kitchen, 5307 Old National Highway. 11Alive reported the shooting happened between about 10:30 p.m. and 10:40 p.m., and that Olumuyiwa was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital in critical condition before later dying from his injuries. For months, the killing sat in the same uneasy category that haunts a lot of true crime readers: a public shooting, a named victim, and no clear answer on why it happened.

The evidence trail appears to have centered on video. Detectives said surveillance footage captured the shooting and became key evidence in the case. Arrest warrants allege Griggs fired a 9mm handgun into the restaurant from outside through a window, while Minor allegedly carried a 9mm handgun fitted with a conversion switch that could make it fire automatically.

Police had already cast a wide net in the days after the killing, releasing four images of people of interest the day after the shooting and saying they were looking for four individuals in connection with the homicide. Even now, investigators have not publicly said what happened to the other two people who were previously sought for questioning, and they have not released a motive. That leaves the central question untouched: was Olumuyiwa targeted, caught in a spontaneous burst of gunfire, or pulled into some larger dispute that has not yet surfaced in public?

The arrests also come with extra law-enforcement baggage. FOX 5 Atlanta reported that Griggs had outstanding warrants out of Union City and Minor had warrants out of Douglas County. South Fulton police have not said whether either man has retained counsel, and court dates have not been announced.

The case landed in a city that knows the Old National Highway corridor well. South Fulton spans about 92 square miles and has a population of roughly 115,000, and local reporting has described the corridor as a violent-crime hotspot, with more than 1,400 violent crimes in 2021, nearly 1,600 in 2022, and more than 1,100 in 2023. In Georgia, a murder conviction can bring death, life without parole, or life in prison, a stark reminder of what these two defendants are now facing.
