[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Atlanta man who executed homeless men with Taurus Judge driven by "bloodlust" say prosecutors

DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — A man accused of killing three men as they slept
outside and a woman walking to her car near Atlanta initially set out to
rob people but was driven by a "bloodlust” after killing his first
victim, according to a court filing.

Aeman Presley, 34, faces charges including murder in the killings of
two homeless men in Atlanta, a man sleeping outside a shopping center in
neighboring DeKalb County and a hairdresser who was heading home after a
dinner out with friends in a nearby suburb. The slayings span two
counties and prosecutors in both have said they intend to seek the death
penalty against Presley.

Presley took a Greyhound bus from Los Angeles to Atlanta in May 2014
"hoping to rejuvenate his beleaguered acting career,” according to a
sworn statement by an investigator with the Fulton County district
attorney’s office. The statement was made in support of a request for a
search warrant to obtain Presley’s cellphone records.

Presley moved into a homeless shelter in Atlanta and took odd jobs at
a restaurant and catering company to make money. But as his money began
to run out, he sought other ways to earn a living, the statement says.
He bought a Taurus .45 revolver "from someone on the street” in August
and took a bus to DeKalb County on Sept. 26 intending to find someone to
rob, the statement says.

He saw a man, later identified as 53-year-old Calvin Gholston,
sleeping in a breezeway at a shopping center, and instead of trying to
rob him, Presley shot him three times, killing him, the statement says.

"Immediately thereafter, Presley experienced a self-described
adrenaline fueled high,” the statement says. "This high manifested into a
‘bloodlust’ which compelled Presley to commit two more murders in
Fulton County.”

Damn, this story contains enough crazy to reach some kind of critical mass or collapse into a singularity of insanity.

Wanted to see what Aeman looked like due to the unusual name.

Huh.

I'm surprised that the gun worked for that long

Thinking the same, I've read on here that you can't die from being shot with a Taurus Judge

The stereotype about serial killers being white guys is largely a myth, especially when you factor it per-capita.
