Man Killed in Smyrna Drug Deal Gone Wrong

Shortly after the Fourth of July celebrations, a tragic incident unfolded in Smyrna. Police report that Chamori Callender, a man attempting to buy marijuana, was fatally shot during the meetup.

The incident occurred around 1 a.m. near Emory University Hospital. Callender and his friend, Omar Jackson, were meeting with Chris Bute, 22, and Kyle Bute, 18, both from Austell. According to the arrest warrants, one of the Butes exited their vehicle with a rifle, prompting Callender and Jackson to flee. Unfortunately, Callender was fatally shot while attempting to escape.

Smyrna Police swiftly arrested Chris and Kyle Bute on Sunday, charging them with felony murder and aggravated assault. Both suspects are currently held in Cobb County Jail without bond. Here is Smyrna Police Major on Louis Defense on the suspects quick apprehension:
