About 30 shell casings were found in the road outside of the home, which is located in the Belvedere Park neighborhood, according to a police incident report obtained by AJC.com. The shell casings included .223 and .22 caliber shells.
Myrick’s son told officers the incident may be related to a “rival biker gang fight” he was involved in about two months ago, the report said. Myrick was taken to a hospital after the shooting and her condition was last described as stable.
An arrest has not been made in this incident, but the investigation is ongoing.
