Officials have identified a man who was found shot to death at a southeast Atlanta fire station Saturday morning, authorities said.

Officers responded to Fire Station 2 on Jonesboro Road around 3 a.m. and found the victim dead from an apparent gunshot wound, authorities said. He was identified as 28-year-old Daeshun Jackson by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office on Wednesday.

Investigators focused their efforts on a black Tesla parked in front of the fire station, according to Channel 2 Action News.

A woman who identified herself to the news station as the victim’s aunt said he was a father of four.

Police said the shooting did not happen at the fire station, but they are still working to determine where the victim was shot.
