Three teens are wanted after police say they shot a man in the head after he got off of a MARTA bus in south Fulton County.

Police say the 19-year-old victim stepped off of the bus and was ambushed by a group of teens who shot him and took his backpack and earphones, Channel 2 Action News reported.

A witness identified the 18-year-olds Kashawn Freeman and Javon Moore in the Jan. 30 incident in the 4000 block of Cascade Road, Channel 2 reported. A third suspect has not been identified.

The victim, who has not been identified, was taken to a hospital where he survived.

Police told Channel 2 the suspects and victim had an altercation months before the shooting.

Freeman and Moore have not been arrested and are considered “armed and dangerous.”
