Carjacking victim arrested after allegedly shooting boy breaking into his car during Atlanta confrontation

Yoshay Carter, 51, who owns the car, told authorities the shooting happened when he confronted the boy, the outlet reported.

Carter was later arrested and is charged with aggravated assault, according to police. He was booked into the Fulton County Jail.

Under Georgia law, there is a statute that covers "use of force in defense of property other than a habitation."

A person is justified in threatening or using force when they reasonably believe it’s necessary to prevent or stop criminal interference with property they lawfully possess, according to the statute.

However, the use of force that is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm is not justified to protect property, unless the person using the force reasonably believes such force is necessary to prevent a "forcible felony," according to Georgia law.
