The shooting happened just before 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 11 outside an Atlanta townhome.
“Our investigation has determined that we believe a property crime was occurring — that some packages were being taken off of a front porch, which is not uncommon this time of year — and the homeowner did discharge his weapon to stop that,” Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said at the time.
Responding officers found a 15-year-old with a gunshot wound to his right foot. He was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment.
