Atlanta police are investigating an early morning fatal shooting.
Police said they responded about 6:30 a.m. to reports of a person shot in the area of 579 Boulevard.
At the scene, they found a man who had been shot at least one time in the chest.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. He was identified by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office as Leon Carr, 34, of Atlanta.
A preliminary investigation indicates the shooting may have been the result of an earlier argument that escalated into gunfire, Atlanta Police Department spokesman John Chafee said.
No arrests had been made as of 10 a.m., but homicide investigators were following up on several leads, Chafee said.
