Police are searching for the driver of a gray Maserati who is suspected of attempting to break into a car in Atlanta’s Castleberry Hill neighborhood, then shooting a man who tried to interfere.
The incident took place in a parking lot near Peters Street Station, an art gallery and creative hub, at around 4:25 p.m. Monday, Atlanta police said. Officers responded after getting reports of a person shot and located a wounded 26-year-old man at the scene.
The man, who has not been publicly identified, was conscious when he was taken to the hospital and is considered stable, police said. Investigators believe he may have interrupted the suspect during a car break-in, leading to the exchange of gunfire.
Authorities said the suspect was driving a Maserati with a temporary tag. Police could not get a definitive view of the tag number, but believe it might be P2748903 or something similar.
No further information has been released, and police did not say if the suspect had been identified.
Anyone who sees the suspect’s car is asked to immediately call 911.
