A man was shot and killed late Friday near a home in southeast Atlanta, police said.
Officers were called to the 1600 block of Lakewood Avenue off Jonesboro Road shortly before midnight regarding a person shot. The address corresponds to a house, but a gas station and other businesses are nearby.
At the scene, officials said they found 27-year-old Keiontay Davis suffering from what appeared to be a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
Officials did not provide information on the alleged shooter or what led to the shooting.
Davis was on probation when he was killed, Fulton County court records reveal.
He entered a negotiated plea in November for violation of the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was subsequently sentenced to 15 years on probation.
Davis had been arrested in February 2023 in connection with a September 2022 incident in Atlanta that involved an exchange of gunfire between two groups in the Hotel District near the Children’s Museum of Atlanta, police previously released.
