Bickham got into a fight last week with someone over drugs, Clayton County officials said. He allegedly settled the score by pulling out a gun and shooting the victim.

Bickham, who is from College Park, is also wanted in two other “violent” shootings, officials said, but they did not disclose the specifics of either case.

He remains in the Clayton County jail on aggravated assault charges.
