As the city of Atlanta hosted a news conference to address its 154th homicide of the year, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said she takes the issue of crime âvery seriously.â
âI want to be clear: I know what Iâm responsible for in the city and I take it very seriously,â she said at the Dec. 29 conference, where she and two Atlanta Police Department leaders spoke about the police identifying and issuing warrants for a suspect in the Dec. 21 Buckhead shooting of 7-year-old Kennedy Maxie, who died five days later. âIf thereâs something weâre not doing and we havenât enacted or should be doing better, my ego is small enough to ask what we need to do to improve things.
