A man was shot in the chest and killed Wednesday evening in northeast Atlanta, authorities said.
Officers found the man in the 500 block of Piedmont Avenue just before 6:45 p.m., Atlanta police spokeswoman TaSheena Brown said.
The victim was unconscious and was not breathing at the scene, she said. He was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he later died.
“We don’t know who shot him at this point,” Lt. Andrea Webster told Channel 2 Action News. “We don’t have any witnesses that we’ve been able to talk to that actually saw the shooting. People have heard gunshots and told us what they heard.”
No other details have been released.
