The suspect reportedly became agitated while waiting for an appointment. After this, he pulled out a handgun and shot the five women.
A 39-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while the four injured were transported to a hospital for treatment. Three of the patients were in critical condition, and one was in stable condition. During a news conference, police indicated that a camera spotted Deion Patterson, the suspect, near a parking garage close to Truist Park and The Battery.

Earlier this evening, it was announced that the suspect was still on the run. However, it now appears that Patterson has been caught. In a tweet from the Cobb County Police Department, they announced that he had been found. “Deion Patterson has been apprehended,” the tweet said. “Details will be provided during a joint press conference with Atlanta PD.” Apparently, Patterson was at the medical facility with his mother for an appointment. Three of the victims are reportedly still in critical condition. Whether or not there was a connection between Patterson and the victims remains unclear. Sadly, it appears that mental illness played a role in his actions.
Patterson’s served in the U.S. Coast Guard for several years. They have stated that he began serving in July 2018 and was discharged in January 2023. According to his mother Minyone, who spoke to the Associated Press, Patterson had been struggling with “some mental instability” since Friday after taking medication prescribed to him by the Veterans Affairs medical system. She stated that her son had requested Ativan to treat his anxiety and depression, but was turned down due to its addictive nature. Stay tuned to HNHH for updates on this case and others.

Deion Patterson is still on the run, according to police. “Everyone consider him still armed and presenting a danger to whatever community he may find himself in at this time,” police said. The authorities have not recovered any firearm that may have been used during the shooting. Patterson was described as having very minimal contact with the Atlanta police before the shooting. He was also reportedly part of the US Coast Guard until earlier this year. The police have instructed that no one should approach Patterson.
While it is unclear what exactly caused Patterson to shoot the victims, it is the second US shooting making major headlines in less than a week. Just last Friday, five were killed in an “execution style” killing in Cleveland, Texas. Luckily, the suspect in that case was caught. Still, with each incident that occurs, it becomes more clear that something must change. Until then, citizens must simply remain vigilant. Stay tuned to HNHH for any updates on the case.
Atlanta crooner Jacquees is excited about what he has in store this weekend. The self-proclaimed “King of R&B” will be in Houston to perform at a community event. The Houston Botanic Garden hosts its second annual Celebrez en Rose wine and music festival this weekend. Attendees should wear pink and white. The festival highlights black businesses and products.
The “B.E.D.” singer loves performing and Texas and is even happier to support Black-owned businesses. He spoke with ABC 13 in Houston about the event.
“Being able to say, ‘Hey this is Black-owned’, and people loving it and people who aren’t Black want to support, you know, it feels good. For me to be on the forefront of Black people, to represent us, it feels really good.”
Jacquees is a business owner himself as he opened a wine and tapas bar earlier this year in Georgia. The 29-year-old is ready to give the fans a great show as he reminds people that he never lip-syncs. Along with Jacquees, MC Lyte and Big Freedia will hit the stage as well.
Lil Wayne unfortunately disappointed his Atlanta fans on Saturday (April 22) when he announced he had to cancel that tour stop due to unforeseen circumstances. Moreover, Weezy is currently on his “Welcome To Tha Carter” tour, which received much critical and fan acclaim up until this point. No doubt the trek will continue to please fans young and old, but it’s always a sting when this occurs to a live show. While many fans expressed understandable disappointment and anger, the rap legend’s message did give some hope to the city. In his statement, he hinted towards the solution he and his team are seeking.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances we have to reschedule the Atlanta show tomorrow,” Lil Wayne posted on social media. “I apologize to my fans, but I kan’t wait to turn up with y’all soon. Luv ATL.” Furthermore, this would’ve been the Young Money boss’s 14th tour stop out of a total of 28, and the trek is scheduled to end in Los Angeles, California on May 13. Hopefully more exciting live performances in the future don’t see the same fate, although the more important hope is that Tunechi is doing well and healthy throughout these dates.
Cancelling live shows can be very scary for artists, but sometimes they have to happen due to scarier circumstances. For example, Desiigner recently canceled all his upcoming concert dates to focus on his mental health, which reportedly took a nosedive. The rapper exposed himself on a plane, and the reaction grew much more sympathetic following his emotional message. With these situations in mind, fans hope that Lil Wayne is above all having a good and fulfilling time during this tour, free of health issues or other circumstances that can seriously impede his trek.
Fortunately, those who missed the Atlanta show or the tour in general have a lot of the “Let The Beat Build” MC to enjoy these days. Not only did he kickstart the campaign for Tha Carter VI with “Kant Nobody” featuring DMX, but he also appeared on Swizz Beatz’s Hip Hop 50: Vol. 2 EP. Still, a lot of fans were disappointed, and you can see the extent of their reactions down below. For the latest greatness from Lil Wayne and the rest of his tour, stick around on HNHH.
Fans React To Weezy Rescheduling Concert
No no no no no Lil Wayne cancelled the Atlanta show the morning of?!?!?! I’m going to spend my day sad crying instead of happy crying now.
Lil Wayne canceled his Atlanta show the same time blink-182 is announced that they actually aren’t on the headliners of Coachella and that it’s actually a special guest. Blink-182 also went on tour with Lil Wayne a few years ago. Hmmmpic.twitter.com/8Wq8KBT8KX
Family ties can lead to incredible artistic chemistry, and there are fewer better examples of that than cousins Young Nudy and 21 Savage. Moreover, Nudy just invited 21 to join him during his Atlanta concert, his final homecoming tour stop for his 2023 dates. Unsurprisingly, the crowd went absolutely ballistic when 21 Savage graced the stage, and they performed the track “Peaches & Eggplants” to a wild group of fans. If you’re looking for more from the East Atlanta trap star, he recently released his latest food-themed album Gumbo, where he delivers high-quality cuts while tapping into his inner MF DOOM.
When it comes to the Her Loss‘s guest appearances as of late, they’ve been nothing short of energizing and impactful. The weekend before linking up with Young Nudy, 21 Savage appeared during Metro Boomin’s fantastic set at Coachella. Sure, they played some of 21’s contributions to his latest album HEROES & VILLAINS, but also went through their extensive and iconic collaborative history. Whether it was “X,” “Runnin’,” or “Bank Account,” the MC-producer duo ripped through the festival grounds like a hulking beast- or like The Hulk, considering Metro’s comic book-inspired presentation.
Young Nudy & 21 Savage Serve Atlanta Crowd “Peaches & Eggplants”
What’s more is that other artists recently took note of Young Nudy and 21 Savage’s chemistry, with one artist in particular remixing one of their team-ups’ instrumentals. None other than Lil Yachtytook a shot at the duo’s “EA” in a snippet he shared while on Kai Cenat’s stream. Over the menacing instrumental, Yachty floats with off-kilter flows and consistent switch-ups that make his relaxed delivery feel more potent. Hopefully the remix lands sooner rather than later, as it would mark one of the only times that the 2016 XXL Freshmen officially collaborate on a song.
Regardless of that, Young Nudy will likely continue to deliver on the colorful yet still grimy aesthetics that he’s graced fans with so far. Another standout project from him is EA Monster, which he dropped last August to a lot of fan acclaim. It seems like no matter the occasion or the context, a Nudy and 21 joint never misses.

Rick Ross is getting in his real estate bag, buying every piece of property Meek Mill has for sale. Hitting Twitter, Meek wants to know what Rozay is up to.
Ross bought another crib off me for a “m”yesterday! I had to ask him tf you doing with all this property
Meek did not provide details on where this home was located but his Atlanta home is officially sold, and staying in the Maybach Music family as Rick Ross has copped the crib for a cool $4.2 million.
According to WSB-TV, luxury realtor Alisha Gillooly revealed the sale of the Buckhead mansion. All $4.2 million was paid in cash.
The crib has nine bathrooms, a movie theater, sauna, outdoor pool, jacuzzi, tennis court, playground, and double garages.

“Sandy springs/buckhead area! When somebody get traded to the hawks or falcons come grab this Jawn! I’m not even gone tag who shot this shitty video lol!”
Some drama between two “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” stars just took an even sharper turn with one of their daughters jumping into the ring. Moreover, Emani Richardson just hopped on Instagram Live to bash Bambi for posting alleged receipts that Emani’s mother, Erica Dixon, abused her. Furthermore, Emani said that Bambi can’t even take care of her other kids and criticized her for talking on behalf of her and thrashing her mother through the mud. Overall, it was quite the heated message, as she also dismissed those claims that Erica abused her in the past. Not only that, but this follows a scathing message that Bambi had for Erica Dixon.
“Y’all so mad cuz I’m really ‘that lady,’” Bambi wrote on her Instagram Story. “But you’ll never be anything other than ‘that n***a baby moma’ @msericadixon. Since you wanna play with me… the reason why I never liked your a** is because since your child was 8 years old she confided in me about you bullying her and two piecing her a**! I let people think otherwise and never spoke up because Scrapp was handling it with the court and she was underage.
“But b***h f**k you!” Bambi continued against Erica Dixon, speaking on her relationship with daughter Emani. “It’s up. And here is one incident report of many. Now pipe tf down & show some respect to that lady that consoled your baby after you busted her s**t all those times.” What’s more is that Bambi actually posted a full legal document alleging abuse on her Instagram Story as well, adding fuel to the fire. Moreover, that seems to have angered Emani the most.
“Public record,” Bambi captioned the picture of the legal document in question. “Please stop playing. I love this child and kept my mouth closed but y’all doing the most! You sent the cops to my house being petty as usual. And then your child wanted to talk to them and tell them this s**t on her own.” Given this is a nasty and complicated web of beef, a lot of people are advising young Emani to stay out of it. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Emani, Erica Dixon, and Bambi.

5. “ASAP”(2004)
“ASAP” is one of Tip’s bigger hits. From his third studio album, Urban Legend, T.I. scored another gold plaque. Rumor is that this song is a diss to Houston rapper Lil Flip.

4. “Dead & Gone” T.I. ft. Justin Timberlake (2008)
After collaborating on “My Love,” T.I. and Justin Timberlake do it again on “Dead and Gone.” Tip gets vulnerable on this song as he discusses the death of his bodyguard and best friend, Philant Johnson.

3. “Bring Em Out” (2004)
“Bring Em Out” is still a song you can hear in 2023. It’s hailed as a sports team anthem, as it could be played before the game, during warmups, and even at halftime. With this hit, T.I. saw another Top 10 track on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Rumor is that this beat was intended for Beanie Sigel, but he went to jail.

2. “What You Know”(2006)

This is one of T.I.’s best songs, as it spent over five months on the Billboard charts.
1. “Rubber Band Man”(2003)
T.I. is the rubber band man. He came on the scene declaring this and was known for wearing his infamous bands around his wrist. Arguably the biggest hit in his discography, Tip called upon fellow rapper David Banner to produce the song. It’s off his second studio album, Trap Muzik.
T.I. lets us know he rubs shoulders with some of Hip Hop’s finest, as there are many stars in the music video. Usher, Jagged Edge, Jazze Pha, Diddy, Bow Wow, and Lil Duval make cameos. Ex-NFL Quarterback Michael Vick can also be seen. Though it did not win any awards, “Rubber Band Man” is regarded as one of Atlanta’s greatest songs.
According to a source who spoke to PEOPLE, Jamie Foxx is “steadily improving” following his medical emergency and hospitalization. For those unaware, his daughter Corinne Foxx broke the news in an Instagram post. “We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,” she wrote. “Luckily, due to quick action and great case, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time. Much love, The Foxx Family.”
Not only that, but apparently the situation could’ve been tragic according to other reports from TMZ. “We’re told his condition was serious enough that Jamie’s family, some of whom were not in town, came to the hospital,” they claimed. “He’s communicating now, and that’s good news.” To elaborate, Foxx was in Georgia filing the Netflix comedy Back In Action, which now faces a slew of production issues given Foxx’s hospitalization. Interestingly enough, the film was already facing a lot of issues, such as the 55-year-old being subject to a $40,000 scam while on set.
Jamie Foxx Is Slowly Recovering After Hospitalization

Furthermore, LeBron James was one of many celebrities and fans who wished the Django Unchained star well. “Sending my thoughts and prayers to the heavens above to my brother @iamjamiefoxx!!!!” LeBron wrote on Twitter. “Get well and back to yourself SOONER THAN LATER! God willing.” Even though people expressed their support on social media, they did so without knowing any symptoms or barely any details as to the incident. In addition, his state of recovery has not yet resulted in a release date from the hospital or a date to continue filming.
Even though the set of Back In Action is quite hectic and disorganized at the moment, there’s hope that Foxx will feel better very soon. As quite the beloved actor with a lot of range and chemistry, this certainly raised the upcoming film’s profile in an unfortunate way. Hopefully Foxx’s scary situation and prompt recovery will get some of those bad vibes out of the studio. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Jamie Foxx.
