A man is dead and two others are injured following a drive-by shooting Saturday night at a strip mall in DeKalb County, authorities said.
DeKalb police responded around 7 p.m. to the 1200 block of Panola Road after getting a call about a person shot at the mall, located near the intersection of Redan Road. When officers arrived, they found a 21-year-old man dead in the parking lot with several gunshot wounds. He was identified as Jahsir McLean by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Nearby, police also found a 29-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his leg and a 29-year-old woman who was shot once in her torso. The injured victims were taken to the hospital and are expected to be OK, police said.
According to investigators, a car pulled up to at least one of the victims that night and someone inside fired several shots. The vehicle then left the mall, which is also home to a gas station and several stores.
A motive for the shooting is unclear at this time, police said. An investigation is ongoing.
