Man dead after shooting in downtown Atlanta
Atlanta police are investigating after a man was shot and killed in downtown Atlanta on Sunday morning, authorities said.
The victim was found around 6 a.m. in the 200 block of Peachtree Center Avenue, according to police. The location is near the Atlanta Marriott Marquis and the Consulate General of Germany. It’s also a short distance from the Hub at Peachtree Center, a food court where four people were shot in June, including the suspect.
When officers arrived Sunday, they found the victim in critical condition after being shot several times. Medical crews attempted lifesaving measures, but he died at Grady Memorial Hospital, officials said.
He was identified as Terrell Griffin, 50, by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.
A motive is unclear, and no other details were provided by police. The investigation is ongoing.
