MACON, Ga. (WGXA) -- Following more than 200 emergency calls and multiple homicides, including the death of 16-year-old Kymelo Early back in May, Friends Food Mart was facing being shut down after being deemed a public nuisance but, after meeting with the courts, the store will be allowed to remain open as long as it makes a few changes.

In an order from the Superior Court, the store will have to monitor activity in its parking lots by posting "NO LOITERING" signs, banning gatherings and alerting police if these rules are broken.
