Man found dead at abandoned NW Atlanta home

A man was found dead Friday morning at an abandoned home in Bankhead, police said.

Officers were called to the 500 block of Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard about 11:50 a.m. about a person down. The victim, identified as 36-year-old Undra Shorter Jr., was dead from what appeared to be a gunshot wound, according to authorities.

“He was the only person inside the house,” Atlanta police Lt. Germain Dearlove told Channel 2 Action News from the scene. ”The house appears to be an abandoned house, so we don’t know who or how many individuals hang out at this location.”
