“There were multiple shots fired inside the vehicle. We were able to recover a number shell casings," said Atlanta police Lt. Andrea Webster.
The victim was listed in critical condition.
“When officers arrived, they located a male who was shot to the head and they located him inside a vehicle,” Webster said.
