British Man Labelled 'Monster' After US Killing Spree Leaves Three Dead
A British man accused of a triple murder in the United States has been branded a "monster" by authorities, sparking a fierce political row over how he was granted American citizenship. The case has drawn intense scrutiny from the Trump administration, which is demanding answers about the immigration process that allowed him to reside in the country.
Details of the Deadly Attacks in Georgia
Olaolukitan Adon Abel, a 26-year-old from London, has been charged with multiple offences following a series of unprovoked attacks across DeKalb County, Atlanta. According to the Department of Homeland Security, Abel randomly murdered three people, including Lauren Bullis, a 40-year-old federal employee who was shot and stabbed while walking her dog.
Witness Tiffany Williams reported hearing six or seven gunshots before seeing Bullis lying at the end of her driveway, with the suspect standing over her before fleeing the scene. The other victims include an unidentified woman shot outside a Checkers restaurant and a homeless man shot multiple times outside a Kroger supermarket in Brookhaven.
Brookhaven Police Chief Brandon Gurley stated that there appeared to be no connection between the victims, describing the attacks as completely random. Abel was tracked down using licence plate recognition technology, which located his silver Volkswagen Jetta.
Political Fallout Over Citizenship Grant
The case has ignited a political firestorm, with the Trump administration questioning how Abel was naturalised as a US citizen in 2022 under the Biden administration. Homeland Secretary Markwayne Mullin confirmed Bullis's identity and criticised the citizenship process, highlighting Abel's criminal history.
In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said, "Under President Trump’s leadership, we will NEVER stop fighting to remove monsters like this from our communities." The administration has pointed to measures implemented by USCIS to prevent individuals with criminal backgrounds from attaining citizenship.
Abel's Criminal History Under Scrutiny
Abel's arrest has brought his criminal record into sharp focus. In October 2024, he pleaded guilty to felony assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer or firefighter in San Diego. Later, in April 2025, he was arrested in Savannah, Georgia, for groping four women, leading to guilty pleas on four misdemeanour counts of sexual battery and obstruction of an officer.
He received a sentence of 120 days in jail, 36-48 months probation, a mental health or psychosexual evaluation, and a four-year ban from Savannah. Despite this history, he was granted US citizenship, a decision now under intense political and public scrutiny.
Ongoing Investigation and Charges
Abel now faces multiple counts of murder, aggravated assault, and weapons charges, though police have only confirmed two deaths, with the third victim seriously injured. Authorities have indicated that further charges may follow as the investigation continues.
No motive has been established for the attacks, and investigators have not explained how or why Abel chose his victims or locations. The identities of the first woman killed and the homeless man have not yet been released by police.
Abel remains in custody, with no date set for his first court appearance. Investigators are continuing to gather evidence in this ongoing case, which has shocked communities in Georgia and raised broader questions about immigration policies and public safety.
