Keith RawlsKeith Rawls showed up at the O’Charley’s restaurant on Shallowford Village Drive Wednesday afternoon toting a gun and wishing to fight another man over an issue with his “baby mama.”
He left the area in handcuffs after walking away from a bizarre incident with a parking lot full of witnesses. And he was not shy about his intentions when talking to police.
Rawls, 22, is charged with attempted first-degree murder and a host of other offenses after several witnesses told police that he initiated a physical altercation that led to him firing a shot from a handgun.
He told police he purchased the handgun on the streets the night before and brought it to the restaurant where 18-year-old Brandon Anderson works to scare Anderson because Anderson had been “talking to and paying bills for his baby mama,” an arrest affidavit says.
Initially, Rawls told police the gun fell out of his pocket. Later, he told police he pulled it out to scare Anderson.
