Atlanta police said an argument escalated to gun violence. The boy, 17-year-old Jakari Dillard, was a rising senior at Life Christian Academy. His mom says she rode around to several pools Saturday trying to find one where her seven kids could swim and have a good time. Courtney Dillard dropped them off at Anderson Avenue pool and headed to a restaurant to buy lunch. Before she could get back, she got the dreaded call.
