Keith RawlsKeith Rawls showed up at the O’Charley’s restaurant on Shallowford Village Drive on Wednesday afternoon toting a gun and wanting to fight another man over an issue with his “baby mama,” police said.
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 several other offenses after several witnesses told police that he initiated a physical altercation that led to his firing a shot from a handgun that he admitted to buying off the streets the night before.
He also told officers that he brought the gun to the restaurant where 18-year-old Brandon Anderson worked to scare Anderson because the man had been “talking to and paying bills for his baby mama,” an arrest affidavit states.
Initially, Rawls told police the gun fell out of his pocket. Later, he said he pulled it out to scare Anderson.
