ATLANTA — Atlanta police are investigating a deadly shooting in the southwest part of the city.
Investigators said they were called out to the 500 block of Connell Avenue for reports of someone being shot.
When officers got on the scene, they found a man with a gunshot wound. EMS was called and they tried to revive the man but were unable to.
APD said an argument had happened between two men before the incident turned deadly.
“Today, at around 10:50 a.m. received a call for a person shot at this location. Responding officers located the victim on the sidewalk. They rendered aid, but he was pronounced deceased on scene,” Atlanta Police Capt. Germain Dearlove said.
Investigators have not released the victim’s identity.
But, police believe this was a targeted shooting, not a random attack.
Authorities told Channel 2’s Michael Seiden at the scene that detectives are speaking with people who live in the area.
Investigators are also reviewing video from the city’s surveillance camera system in hopes of identifying the man who fired the shots.
