All were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital after the gunfire at Strikers Motorcycle Club in the 1500 block of Moreland Avenue Southeast, which occurred around 3:10 a.m., police said. Fernando Wingfield, 44, of Atlanta, was killed, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.
A third incident happened across town, at a home in the 200 block of Hamilton E. Holmes Drive in northwest Atlanta. Police arrived there just before 2 a.m. to find a man who appeared to have been killed by a gunshot. He was identified by the medical examiner as Gregory Muckle, 66.
Police said they were searching the home and that their investigation was ongoing. Channel 2 Action News reported that two men and a woman lived at the home and that investigators said the shooting occurred during an argument. The surviving roommates were detained with police trying to determine who fired the weapon.
