A man was shot at a McDonald’s located off Wesley Chapel Road in DeKalb County and was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, police said.

The DeKalb County Police Department responded to the fast-food restaurant around 8:30 p.m. Friday. At the scene, police found a man in his 40s in the parking lot with a gunshot wound.

The investigation is ongoing. The man’s identity has not been released.

The incident occurred near the scene of a shooting earlier this month. Golden Glide Skating Rink, less than a half-mile from the McDonald’s, is where 11-year-old D’Mari Johnson was shot April 9. The boy is in a medically induced coma. A teen was arrested Wednesday in connection with the shooting that occurred outside the skating rink.
