Thursday morning feel good story
Chief Tango sends us our feel good story for this Thursday morning from Georgia about an owner of Courtesy Shuttle who heard the sound of breaking glass near the front door of the business;
The man confronted the women, shooting [Achievia Upshaw, 21] in the back. The other suspect, Deaisa Ransom who was also shot, is currently listed in critical condition at Midtown Medical Center.
The part-business owner will not be charged.
Upshaw was pronounced dead at 8:21 a.m. at Midtown Medical Center. She died of an apparent gunshot wound to the torso. Her body is being sent to Atlanta for autopsy on Thursday.
Upshaw’s mother claims that two men stole her rent money yesterday, and her daughter might have been trying to retrieve the money during today’s robbery, according to officials.
One of the women was found at the nearby Brittwood Apartments complex. The other woman was found still at the business.
“We do work so close, I was scared about that,” says Beth Myers who works just a few doors down from the crime scene.

I understand. Sure, if someone has their money stolen the only thing to do is to steal from someone else. Right.
Now for another drink of coffee and to try to find some right in that logic.
@1: I’m tracking with ya, Frankly, in trying to figure out the logic thread of that statement.
The unfortunate thing in this is the one woman was shot in the back. I was there, so I can’t say why she would have been tagged from behind, but the underlying tone is she shouldn’t have been there to begin with.
As I see it; there’s nothing in my house worth dying for.
I’m with ya both.
Criminal logic escapes me.
@2 sghould be “wasn’t” there. Fat fingers and no caffeine, yet.
Retrieve her rent money? What?!? What someone else said: da stupid is strong with this one.
Something DEFINITELY wrong with this story (or the reporter that wrote it, and the editor that passed it).
-Shot in the back, but died of a torso wound??
-And as others have already commented, the mother’s statement is criminal-stupid priceless.
Makes me wonder if Teh Mama is going to recover that lost — uhhh, stolen– rent money by filing civil charges against the business owner. After all he DID violate her civil rights of being able to steal from whoever she wanted to. (/sarc off)
I had no trouble understanding this. The woman seems to claim that the men who owned the Shuttle Service stole her money somehow and the two women were trying to steal it back from them.
If you are shot in the back and the bullet goes through and into the torso is this not a “torso wound”?
Another case of terminal stupidity. And, the back is part of the torso.
Felony stupid…It is past time for Georgia to pass such a thing.
