Police are investigating a shooting in northwest Atlanta early Sunday.

A love triangle dispute led to a fatal shooting at a northwest Atlanta apartment complex early Sunday, police said.

Officers were called just after midnight to the Dwell at The View apartments on Hollywood Road, a gated complex in the Scotts Crossing neighborhood. When they arrived, they found a 23-year-old man with a gunshot wound.

The man, identified as Xzavier Tomlin by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office, died at the scene.

Investigators told Channel 2 Action News that the shooting happened after the victim went to the residence of his former partner. He then allegedly got into a dispute with the new boyfriend, which led to gunfire, the news station reported.

The current boyfriend, identified as a suspect, fled the scene after the shooting, according to Channel 2.

No other details were provided. An investigation is ongoing, police said.
