The victim's family said he is fighting for his life. Police previously told Channel 2 Action News he did not survive.
Investigators said the shooting happened around 3:30 p.m. Saturday at an apartment complex along Central Drive in DeKalb County.
DeKalb county police say a man was shot in between the apartment complex units with the bullet hitting the victim in the head. The shooter got away.
"It is crazy because they always shooting around here," a neighbor told Channel 2's Lauren Pozen. "About two nights ago we heard a semi-automatic gun shooting."
A witness, who did not want his face shown, said he heard multiple rounds go off.
"First gunshot, I came out trying to see what is going on. Then there was two gunshots, three gunshots," the witness said.

Crystal Breaux lives in the complex with her children. She told Pozen that there are a lot of children who live in the complex.
“I always have my son outside playing; I sit outside my car while they are playing because you never know. Something like this is always happening, so I sit outside with them,” Breaux said.
Police have not released the name of the victim or a description of the shooter.
