A suspect is in custody after shooting a man in the head Wednesday at a northeast Atlanta apartment complex, police said.
Xanier Clemons, 58, is facing multiple charges in connection with the shooting, which occurred in the 500 block of Boulevard.
“Officers went to the suspect’s apartment and knocked on the door,” Atlanta police Sgt. John Chafee told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “The suspect opened the door, armed with a knife.”
Police were able to talk the suspect into putting the knife down and placed him in custody. He is in the Fulton County Jail on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The victim was taken to Atlanta Medical Center in stable condition.
Authorities have not said what led to the shooting, which is under investigation.
