Police are investigating after a double shooting in downtown Atlanta left a man dead and another person injured.
At about 9:30 p.m. Friday, officers responded near the intersection of Kimball Way and Decatur Street for a person shot.
After getting to the scene near Underground Atlanta, officers were told that a person had just arrived at Grady Memorial Hospital with a gunshot wound. The officers then found the victim at the hospital, who was reported to be stable after being shot, police said.
While canvassing the scene, officers found a second victim near 50 Lower Alabama Street, located a few blocks away to the southeast.
That 23-year-old man, shot several times, was pronounced dead at the scene by medical crews. He was identified Monday night as Lamont Hyde by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.
A motive is unclear, and no other details were provided by police about what led to the gunfire.
