Street now faces eight counts, including three counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of murder, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony, according to Fulton County Sheriff’s Office Inmate records.
Grant said the decision to charge Street was made by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and that the investigation “remains active and ongoing” with no other information currently available.
At this time, it is unclear if Street has retained legal representation.
