A teenager was found shot to death in the passenger seat of a Tesla parked at a southwest Atlanta apartment complex early Thursday morning, officials said.

Officers were called to the Crystal Heights apartments on Boulder Park Drive, just outside of I-285 near Adamsville, at about 1:45 a.m. after getting reports of a person down, Atlanta police said. Responding officers found a man in the passenger seat of a white Tesla Model Y already dead from a gunshot wound.

The victim was later identified as 17-year-old Ladunte Momon by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Police said the death was being investigated as a homicide but did not release further information.
