Photos of a suspect were released Friday evening, a day after a man was fatally shot at one of Atlanta’s most dangerous apartment complexes, according to officials.
Around 9 p.m. Thursday, Atlanta police responded to the Park Vista apartments on Fisher Road in the Custer-McDonough-Guice neighborhood between Moreland Avenue and McDonough Boulevard. A caller had reported that a person had been shot, and when officers arrived they found a 20-year-old man in critical condition, police said.
The victim was rushed to a hospital, but he did not survive, according to authorities. His name was not released.
Photos of a person wearing a black puffer jacket and white sneakers were released Friday evening by Atlanta police. Officials said they are asking the public for help in identifying the person they called a suspect in the case.
No other details have been shared about what led to the shooting.
The Park Vista complex is among 272 of the metro area’s persistently dangerous complexes, according to an investigation by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that looked into serious crimes, lax maintenance and other hazards in Atlanta neighborhoods.
In November 2022, a man was killed there following a dispute. One man was arrested in connection with that case.
Between 2017 and January 2022, there were 86 crimes reported at the complex. They included 31 aggravated assaults, nine robberies, four rapes and two child molestations.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477, text information to 274637 or visit the Crime Stoppers website.
