A fight in a parking lot near Cumberland Mall turned deadly for a Powder Springs man Saturday night. 

Cobb police said George B. Tabetando, 29, died of gunshot wounds after getting into a fight with another man about 8:15 p.m. Saturday in a parking lot of the Macy's department store, near the Cobb Community Transit bus station on Cumberland Boulevard.

Cobb police spokesman Sgt. Dana Pierce said in a news release Sunday morning that witnesses saw the male suspect flee the scene in a brown, charcoal or gray BMW. 

Pierce said the suspect is a black male with dreadlocks, and was last seen wearing dark clothing and in possession of a handgun. He also said police think the BMW may have been driven by a black female. 

Pierce said after the two men began fighting, the suspect pulled out a handgun and shot a man later identified as Tabetando several times, chasing him into a roadway. 

Tabetando was taken to Emory Adventist Hospital in Smyrna and died there, Pierce said. 

Cobb police are asking that anyone with information about the shooting call 770-499-3945.
