An 18-year-old man was found dead Tuesday night on the front porch of a home in a Conley neighborhood, police said.
The discovery was made shortly before 10 p.m. by Clayton County police officers, who had been called to the 4400 block of Richard Road to investigate a report of gunshots. They were already en route when another 911 caller reported seeing a body lying in front of a home, according to a police spokesperson.

The victim was unresponsive and lying facedown on the front porch when the officers arrived, Officer Jordan Parrish said in a news release. He had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead by a medical examiner.
His name was not released.
“This is an ongoing investigation and information is still being gathered,” Parrish said.
Investigators collected evidence through the night at the home, which is located across the street from an apartment complex. Officers remained at the scene Wednesday morning.
