A Department of Homeland Security employee, Lauren Bullis, an auditor for the Office of Inspector General, was shot and stabbed to death while walking her dog on Monday morning in Atlanta by Olaolukitan Adon-Abel, a 26-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen born in the UK who was naturalized under the Biden administration in 2022.
The incident occurred as part of a violent spree that also killed another woman outside a Checkers restaurant and critically injured a homeless man sleeping outside a Kroger store in DeKalb County.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated that Adon-Abel has a history of criminal behavior, including prior convictions for sexual battery, battery against a police officer, obstruction, assault with a deadly weapon, and vandalism. According to Mullin, Adon-Abel was arrested last fall in Chatham County for sexual battery and sentenced to jail time with probation requiring a mental health evaluation.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that Adon-Abel’s actions led to the fatal shooting of Lauren Bullis.
