[quote:43116](WSB Radio/AP) - Authorities are unsure whether a man shot and killed by police is the person who killed a nine-year-old boy with an axe Monday night at the Chastain Apartments.
According to a police report, the boy called out to the people in a car that pulled up to say that something was wrong with one of the vehicle's wheels. One of the occupants of the car then made an obscene gesture, the report says.

When the boy tried to tell the people in the car he was just trying to help them out, a man got out of the car and struck him in the face with an ax, the report says. The boy's playmates ran off to call for help.

When police arrived, an officer approached a man, who was acting suspiciously. But the man ran across the street to an apartment complex, according to Corporal Gary Syblis with Fulton County Police.

The man threw a tire at the officer, fracturing the officer's arm, Syblis said. The man then came at the officer, swinging a piece of metal.

That's when the officer opened fire, shooting the suspect three times, Syblis said.

The suspect, 22-year-old Santos Cabrera, is Hispanic. Some witnesses report the axe wielding man was Asian.

Cabrera had been released from the Fulton County Jail June 2nd, held for criminal trespass and theft by receiving, charges resulting from an incident at the same apartment complex where the boy's murder occurred.

Some speculate Cabrera ran from police because he did not want to go back to jail.
