A 2-year-old boy has died after he was shot inside a southeast Atlanta apartment Sunday morning, police said.
Atlanta police were called just before 11 a.m. to Children’s Hughes Spalding Hospital, where they found the child with a gunshot wound.
The boy was treated by medical staff but died at the hospital, police said. On Tuesday, he was identified as Jayce Davis by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The shooting happened at an apartment complex in the 100 block of Bell Street, according to investigators.
“At this time, there are no outstanding suspects,” a spokesperson said. “The Atlanta Police Department is actively investigating to determine how the firearm was discharged inside the residence.”
No other details were provided by authorities about the shooting, including whether the child shot himself. Police said they would share “additional updates as more information becomes available.”
The complex is near Grady Memorial Hospital in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood.
