A man was shot to death in a Stonecrest neighborhood early Thursday morning, according to DeKalb County police.

Officers got a call around 2 a.m. about shots fired at the intersection of Somerset Parkway and Hillandale Road near the Somerset condominiums just north of I-20.

Details are limited, but an officer told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the victim, whose name was not released, was in his early 20s. He was declared dead at the scene.

Investigators worked through the night collecting evidence and talking to witnesses. By dawn, the victim’s loved ones gathered at the scene and comforted each other.
