“Our preliminary investigation reveals that this incident stems from a minor marijuana transaction gone bad,” Atlanta police officer Stephanie Brown said in a statement.
The teenager was found with a gunshot to his back outside a Delmar Lane residence, police said.
No suspects have been identified.
