A man was found shot to death early Saturday morning at an apartment complex in southwest Atlanta, police said.

He was discovered inside an apartment on Peyton Place near Martin Luther King Jr. Drive around 3 a.m. The victim was identified as Travante Turner, 31, by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.

While the gunfire is suspected to have come from outside the complex, police told Channel 2 Action News they remain uncertain whether the shooter was on foot or in a vehicle.

A description of the suspect was not provided, and police did not say what have led to the shooting.
