He had been shot in the neck and leg and was taken to Grady hospital where he was pronounced dead. His identification was not released by mid-morning Saturday. And there was no arrest at that time.

Earlier, just after midnight, police responded to a call of two people shot near the Delmar Villa Apartments on Delmar Lane Northwest.
