A 21-year-old died Friday evening after being shot in the stomach at a home in southwest Atlanta, police said.

The incident took place about 6:45 p.m. at a home off Tarragon Way, Atlanta police spokeswoman Officer TaSheena Brown said. The gunshot victim, identified Saturday as Jordan Lay, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Homicide detectives believe Lay was involved in an argument with another man before he was shot, Brown said. The suspect was not at the scene when police arrived.

No other details about the deadly shooting have been released, and it’s unclear if police have identified a suspect in the case.
