A man was found shot to death Monday morning outside a church in northeast Atlanta, according to authorities.
Shortly before 9:40 a.m., officers were called to the 1000 block of Ponce de Leon Avenue in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood about a person shot. They arrived at the scene and found a man near the sidewalk with several gunshot wounds.
The victim, identified as 48-year-old Jason Greer by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office, was taken to a hospital and later died.
No other details have been released as the investigation is in its early stages, police said.
The Ponce de Leon address is home to two churches, a child development center and a nonprofit aimed at addressing homelessness in Atlanta. It’s also located across the street from the Majestic Dinner, the Plaza Theatre and a Publix supermarket.
