Teen Charged as Adult in Fatal Powder Springs Shooting

Officers were sent to a home on Mustang Drive shortly before 9:45 p.m. on October 30 after a report that someone had been shot. They found British Hart, 18, with a gunshot wound and attempted lifesaving measures, but he died at the scene. His next of kin were notified shortly afterward.

Powder Springs police asked Cobb County’s Major Crimes Unit to lead the homicide investigation. Detectives later arrested a 15-year-old boy and filed adult-court charges against him for felony murder and aggravated assault.

The teenager is being held without bond at the Cobb County Youth Detention Center. Police have not released his name. The investigation remains active; anyone with information can contact Cobb County police’s Major Crimes Unit at 770-499-3945.
