After being robbed at gunpoint at a southwest Atlanta gas station, Forrest grabbed his own gun and gave chase. Shots were exchanged, police said.
“Vernon walked up to the guy” he was chasing, said Atlanta Police Detective Lt. Keith Meadows, citing a witness account. “Then, at some point, [Forrest] turned and walked away.”
That’s when the man shot the champion boxer seven or eight times in the back, Meadows said.
Three boxers died in the last 30 days. I thought Gatti’s wife strangling him was the craziest until I read this.
