Ex-Boyfriend Shot After Break-in



The shooting of a man who burst into an apartment in Gwinnett County early Monday appeared to be a case of self-defense, police officials said.



Investigators determined that 20-year-old Jesus Arturro Velasquez kicked in the front door of the apartment on Club Drive where his ex-girlfriend lived with her current boyfriend. Kimberly Nelson had taken out a temporary protective order against Velasquez, according to court records.



UPDATE (by Clayton): From the May 4, 2004 Gwinnett Daily Post:

LAWRENCEVILLE — A 22-year-old Duluth man will not face charges for shooting a man who kicked in the door of his apartment early Monday morning, authorities said.

After Velasquez entered the apartment, Nelson's boyfriend, Celso Villa Lobos, shot him several times. Velasquez was transported to Gwinnett Medical Center and is listed in critical condition.



The case will be forwarded to the District Attorney for a final determination as to whether charges should be filed.
