ATLANTA — One man is dead and a killer is on the run after a shooting inside a gated apartment complex in northwest Atlanta.
Police say they were called to the Envoy Apartments on Northside Drive around 12:30 a.m. When officers arrived, they found the victim, a man in his 20s, dead from a gunshot wound.
The victim’s friend told police he was visiting from out of town and they were having a party inside the gated apartment complex at the time of the shooting.
Police are looking into the possibility that the gunman was invited to the party
“He was invited down here by a friend. They were all hanging out in the apartment. It was supposed to be somewhat social and then how things turned around, we’re not entirely sure. We’re still looking into that,” said Atlanta police Capt. Michael O'Connor.
The medical examiner has identified the victim, but has not released his name. They are working to location the victim's family.
Residents told Channel 2's Liz Artz one person was arrested on an outstanding warrant.
Police believe they may have recovered the murder weapon.
