South Fulton police were called to the scene around 10:30 a.m. in the 3700 block of Cascade Road, where they found a woman who had been shot. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
People who work in the busy shopping center say they were stunned to learn a woman was found shot to death behind the businesses.
It happened behind the plaza on Cascade Road, across from the Chick-fil-A.
Jamya McCoy told Channel 2’s Tom Jones the victim was her friend and co-worker. She wants to know why someone wanted to end her life.
“What about her baby? Did they think about her baby? Did they think about her son?” McCoy asked.
McCoy stood at the scene and was very emotional as City of South Fulton police surrounded a car McCoy says belonged to the victim. The victim’s body was later removed from the scene.
“It hurts really bad because why would somebody do this?” McCoy wondered.
Channel 2 Action News is not identifying the victim since police haven’t released her name. Police would only tell Channel 2 Action News they are investigating the shooting death of a woman. Police said they were interviewing people in the area and searching for evidence.
McCoy says she worked with the victim at the nearby Home Depot. She says officers came in and told them their co-worker was gone.
She says her friend was kind, sweet and lifted her spirits when she was down.
“And she loved her little boy so much. And I just don’t understand why somebody would do this to her,” she said.
Meanwhile, the deadly shooting stunned people who work in the shopping center.
“It’s been a lot of this going on lately, a lot of women and children,” a worker who did not want to be identified said.
She said there is too much killing going on.
“It’s kind of scary, really close to home,” the worker said.
Officers have not said if they have made any arrests or have any suspects.
