An arrest was made Wednesday after a man was shot to death in Atlanta’s Pittsburgh neighborhood the previous evening.

Officers were called to the southwest Atlanta community just before 9:30 p.m. Tuesday about a person shot in the 900 block of Dewey Street. The location is across the street from the Salvation Army’s Kroc Center, which serves as a worship, arts, education, fitness and recreation facility, according to its website.

When police arrived, they found the man with gunshot wounds, officials said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. He was identified as Antoine Jordan, 40, by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Investigators have not disclosed what they believe led to the shooting.

The following day, 68-year-old Perry McCullough was booked into the Fulton County Jail on a charge of murder.

No other details have been released by police.
