ATLANTA — Prosecutors in Fulton County are seeking the death penalty against Robert Aaron Long, the suspect in a string of deadly shootings at three Atlanta-area Asian spas in March.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis made the announcement at news conference on Tuesday.
She also said she would seek hate crime charges in the case, saying the possible enhanced sentence against Long will be the first test for the county of the hate crime law passed by the Georgia Legislature. She added it sends a message that every member within the community is valued.
