East Point police are seeking the public’s help to identify those responsible for allegedly shooting and killing a man as he was heading home from a shopping trip last week.
Michael Lee, 62, was walking to his residence around 9 p.m. Friday when police said he was randomly struck by a single gunshot.
“Investigators are asking for the public’s help who have knowledge of this incident,” police said Tuesday.
Officers responded to the area of Farley Street and Headland Drive that evening for a person shot. The intersection is located a short distance from the Headland Delowe Shopping Center, which is home to several stores, including a Wayfield supermarket.
When officers arrived, they found Lee dead on the street, police said. No other information was provided on what led to the shooting, and police have not shared a description of the possible suspect or suspects.
