A 4 year old boy who was struck by a stray bullet while at church died Friday.
The incident happened around midnight Friday during a New Year’s Eve watch service at the Covington Drive Church of God of Prophecy in Decatur.
It was not immediately clear who fired the shot that came through the roof of the church and struck the child, who was identified as Marquel Peters.
Peters was an only child.
Dekalb County police said they thought at first that debris from the roof fell and hit Marquel.
But the medical examiner found the bullet in the boy’s head when he performed the autopsy.
His mother wants the person who fired the gun to turn himself in.
