A man was fatally shot near the West End MARTA station Wednesday evening, police said.
Atlanta and MARTA police officers responded to an area near the station on Lee Street, which is just west of Whitehall Street and south of I-20 in southwest Atlanta, around 9:10 p.m. Atlanta police spokesman Aaron Fix said authorities found a man with an apparent gunshot wound.
The victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition and later pronounced dead. He was identified as Abraham Malobe, 43, by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.
About an hour after the shooting, MARTA police spokeswoman Sgt. Deneya Littles said the shooting happened “in the area of the West End station” and that officers were at the scene working to uncover additional details during the early stages of the investigation.
On Thursday morning, she confirmed that Atlanta police were handling the investigation since it happened “off of MARTA property.”
Atlanta police said no arrests have been made but the investigation remains “active and ongoing.”
