Gene Evin Atkins allegedly shot his grandma and his girlfriend then forced his girlfriend to come with him in the car. Atkins shot at police who were pursuing him before crashing in front of Trader Joe's. Atkins held the store's customers as hostages at gunpoint, and a police standoff began. Atkins exchanged gunfire with police and a stray police bullet killed store manager Meylda Marciela Corado. Atkins surrendered and was charged with Corado's murder. As of February 2020, a court-order psychiatrist was examining Atkins to determine if he is competent to stand trial.
