A dispute over passing gas led to a deadly shooting in Atlanta, Georgia, according to court documents.
The Clayton County Police Dept. said officers responded to a report of shots fired on Oct. 8 at the 5000 block of Riverdale Road at about 10:30 p.m.
He allegedly shot at Beebe approximately 10 times, striking him in the back and killing him.
After an investigation, police identified Seneca Colbert as a suspect in the lethal shooting.
Police sought Colbert for weeks and warned that he was armed and dangerous.
On Friday, a tip led police to his whereabouts at a home in Atlanta. When the 48-year-old refused to come out of the home, the Atlanta Police SWAT team breached the home. He was found hiding behind a water heater.
Colbert was charged with malice murder, felony murder, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Charging documents alleged a bizarre motivation for the lethal shooting.
Investigators said 25-year-old Delrico Beebe was in a gas station store with Colbert when he complained about Colbert passing gas.
An altercation ensued, and Colbert left the store to retrieve an AR-style pistol from his vehicle, according to investigators.
He allegedly shot at Beebe approximately 10 times, striking him in the back and killing him.
The latest police data indicates that nearly all major crime categories have declined by double-digit percentages in Atlanta over the same period last year.
Homicide is down 12%, rape is down 14%, and robbery is down 22%. On the other hand, aggravated assaults are up 21% in the otherwise downward trends.

On one end of the spectrum are those who argue that all related festivities — including trick-or-treating, costumes, and pumpkin carving — should be avoided by Christians. According to this group, any attempt to create alternatives or participate in a limited capacity is just whitewashing what is undeniably evil.
On the other end are those who fully engage with Halloween — horror, gore, and all. Many fall somewhere in between, believing discernment and partial participation is permissible.
On a recent episode of “Strange Encounters,” a spiritual warfare podcast hosted by Rick Burgess, the BlazeTV host dove into the Halloween debate and gave his take.
Rick begins by taking a hard stance on one of Halloween’s biggest modern traditions: watching horror films.
“[Modern horror movies] are dealing with demons and possession and all this stuff, and then if they’re not doing that, then they’re coming up with new ways to murder people and slaughter people and slice them up and blood, gore, and all that,” he says.
To engage with these movies, he argues, is like putting “a sign on your house, ‘Demons are welcome here.”’
“I would not have anything to do with any horror picture,” Rick warns. “Don’t let it anywhere near your home.”
He also takes a hard stance on dark-themed decorations and costumes.
“Please do not allow decorations around your home to be demonic, OK?” he says.
“Do not let your children dress up as witches. Do not let your children dress up as serial killers. Do not let your kids dress up as vampires, monsters — just stay out of all that,” he adds.
But not all decorations and costumes are evil, Rick caveats. Decorating with “pumpkins,” allowing your child to dress as “Buzz Lightyear,” and trick-or-treating with “people that you know” is OK, as long as you “stay out of the dark stuff,” he says.
Rick shares that he is so passionate about Christians being educated about darkness because he has “experienced demonic attack in [his] own home.”
“This stuff is real, and to take your impressionable, innocent children and expose them to this stuff is so dangerous,” he warns, urging Christians to keep all Halloween festivities “in the world of fun and brightness.”
“And I would go as far as this: Redeem some of it,” he continues.
He notes that October 31 is also Reformation Day for Protestants — the day believed to be the anniversary of Martin Luther nailing his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany, and kicking off the Protestant Reformation.
“Have some fun with it, but why not sit down and say, ‘Let’s pray before we go [trick-or-treating]. Hey, let’s have a devotion before we go out or after we get back,’” he proposes.
Rick also stresses the importance of parents addressing any evil their kids might have encountered while participating in Halloween festivities.
“Don’t leave it hanging over them before they go to bed,” he advises.
“The things that are going on around the world on Halloween night, you don’t want to know. ... The dark spirits of this world, they’re strong on this evening. This is their Christmas, OK? So be careful.”

Washington has managed to turn an overwhelmingly popular idea — banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks — into another partisan brawl.
In a poll released in September, the Independent Center found that 88% of voters backed a ban, including 88% of Republicans, 89% of Democrats, and 86% of independents. Yet Congress still hasn’t made it law. On an issue that unites voters, the two parties have found another reason to fight.
Make congressional stock trading a test. Will candidates ban lawmakers and their families from trading stocks, including existing holdings? Will they reject poison pills? Get their answers. Vote accordingly.
Americans are sick of it. A Fox News poll conducted October 9-12 found that 88% of registered voters were extremely or very concerned about government corruption, ahead of inflation and high prices at 85%, gas prices at 83%, and health care at 80%.
The Independent Center's October survey of 1,200 adults, including 1,000 registered voters, helps explain the anger. Six in 10 said groceries had put the most pressure on their household budgets. Fifty-four percent said the economy was rigged for big companies and the politically connected; only 34% said it worked like a real free market. More than half said Washington was not listening.
Politicians insist they share that frustration. Their tolerance for corruption, however, often depends on whose name is attached to it.
Republicans have a fresh example. On October 13, Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as ambassador to Greece after the White House asked her to leave. Trump donor Eric Deters accused her of seeking $100,000 to pay a personal credit card bill before her confirmation hearing, allegedly in return for access to administration officials. He says he never paid her. Guilfoyle denies wrongdoing and disputes the authenticity of the messages cited in reporting on the allegation.
Democrats have their own scandals. Former Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey was sentenced to 11 years in prison in a bribery case involving cash, gold bars, and a luxury car. Former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) resigned in April after facing ethics proceedings and federal charges alleging that she and others diverted a $5 million FEMA overpayment, including money routed toward her campaign. She has pleaded not guilty.
Both parties are adept at spotting corruption across the aisle. When the accusation lands at home, too many partisans reach for the words “witch hunt.”
Congressional stock trading offers a simpler test. `Members can buy and sell individual stocks while receiving briefings and writing laws that affect the companies they invest in. The 2012 STOCK Act requires disclosure of trades and prohibits trading on nonpublic information. It does not bar members from owning or trading individual stocks.

Republican Chip Roy (Texas) and Democrat Seth Magaziner (D-R.I.) have championed a bipartisan proposal to ban congressional stock trading, including by lawmakers' spouses and dependent children. But the legislation that actually passed the House in July was narrower. The Stop Insider Trading Act, approved 232-198, would bar new purchases while allowing members to retain existing holdings. Republicans also attached voter ID requirements unrelated to stock trading.
Democrats called the package inadequate and objected to the election provisions. In September, the Senate voted 53-47 to advance it, short of the 60 votes needed. Rival proposals, familiar accusations, and procedural maneuvers have left the public with the same result: No comprehensive trading ban is law.
The people who set the rules cannot agree to limit their own opportunities for profit, even when voters from both parties overwhelmingly want them to. That is a failure of political will, not a shortage of legislative ideas.
Independents can change the calculation. We have no party organization to defend and no reason to excuse misconduct because the offender happens to wear the right jersey. The standard should be the same whether the politician is a Democrat or a Republican.

And we have the numbers to make that standard count. Gallup found that 45% of Americans identified as independents in 2025, more than identified with either major party. In close races, candidates cannot afford to dismiss voters whose support they have not earned.
So make congressional stock trading a test. Ask every candidate in your district whether they will ban lawmakers, spouses, and dependent children from trading individual stocks. Ask whether the ban would cover existing holdings and whether they would accept unrelated riders designed to sink it. Write down the answers. Vote accordingly.
The two parties have had years to deliver a reform voters agree on. If they refuse, independents can make that refusal costly — or replace the politicians responsible.
