Two men were killed in a shooting Thursday at a southeast Atlanta tire shop, including the business owner, authorities said.
Maurice Davis, 56, was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later died, police said. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed his identity.
Atlanta police were called just before 4 p.m. to 2995 Jonesboro Road, an address that corresponds with JMR Tires. The shop is located near a townhouse complex and next to a pair of gas stations in the Orchard Knob neighborhood.
When officers arrived, they found Davis and another man dead at the scene.
That man was identified as 46-year-old Roderick T. Hunter by the ME’s office.
On Tuesday, police classified the shooting as a “homicide” and a “felon killed by a private citizen.”
A police spokesperson said the investigation is ongoing and did not release additional information.
