One man was killed and another was injured in a Saturday morning shooting at a southeast Atlanta apartment complex, police said.

Shortly before 7 a.m., officers were called to the Victory at Summerhill apartments along Fulton Street. Officers said they found two men who had been shot.

Both victims were taken to a hospital. One man, who was identified as 25-year-old Deveontay Burke by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office, later died.

Authorities told Channel 2 Action News that the shooting took place on the fourth floor of one of the buildings after an argument broke out. No information was provided on a suspect.

The apartment complex is right off I-20 and just a short drive from Zoo Atlanta.
