Argument leads to fatal shooting at SW Atlanta apartment complex

A man was shot and killed Friday afternoon after an argument at a southwest Atlanta apartment complex, authorities said.

Officers responded to the Villas at Princeton Lakes at 751 Fairburn Road around 2:35 p.m. regarding a person shot call. The victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was found near the property’s leasing office, according to police. He was later identified as 24-year-old Demontrez Ross by the Fulton County medical examiner.

Investigators said they believe Ross met up with another man at the complex, but neither of the men were residents. The two got into a “physical altercation” that escalated to gunfire and the suspected shooter left the scene, police added.
