“To My Brothers Killer
Jonathan David, aka “Sodo,”
“How did this happen? Why did this happen? I trusted you. Anybody that know me knows I keep a small circle but I let you in. I trusted you with my family. You’ve been around me for over 20 years. Always took care of you. You would get drunk and you get kicked out of the club but we worked it out because I saw you as family. I would always find ways that you can eat with me. Traveling and partying and celebrating life together just for you to take my little brothers’ life. What the f**k happened Sodo?”
Alex also alleged that the suspect killed his brother in front of the “Republic Lounge” in front of people then “walked home like it was nothing.”
Soto allegedly shot Michael outside the Atlanta nightclub on Saturday morning, February 4. The club is located along Brady Avenue NW in West Midtown. The shooting victim was already dead when the police got to the scene. He was buried on February 14.
