Separate overnight shootings Thursday left two men dead just minutes apart in southwest Atlanta, according to police.
The first 911 call came in just after midnight reporting a person shot in the 940 block of Smith Street, according to a news release. The location is about two blocks from Pittman Park in Atlanta’s Pittsburgh neighborhood. When officers arrived, they found a man dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
He was identified as Jeremy Miles, 36, by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.
“We are trying to speak to some neighbors and witnesses that might have heard something in reference to this incident,” Lt. Ralph Woolfolk, commander of Atlanta police’s homicide unit, told the news station.
Just 10 minutes later at 12:15 a.m., police were called to the entrance ramp to I-20 at 300 Pryor Street, where they found another man dead from a gunshot wound, another news release states. That area is only a block from Atlanta police headquarters.
He was identified as 31-year-old Craig Hall Jr.
No other details have been released about the shootings.
