&lt;p&gt;At a court hearing earlier today, the state announced that it &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/state-wont-seek-death-1199479.html&quot;&gt;won&#039;t seek the death sentence&lt;/a&gt; for Nkosi Thandiwe, the 22-year-old security guard accused of killing 26-year-old Brittney Watts, paralyzing Lauren Garcia and wounding Tiffany Ferenczy when he opened fire in a Midtown parking garage in July. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;CL&lt;/em&gt; contacted District Attorney Paul Howard&#039;s office for comment, but hasn&#039;t heard back.&hellip;
