A man remains in serious condition after being shot at a southwest Atlanta apartment complex Wednesday evening, authorities said.
Officers responded to the shooting around 7:30 p.m. at The Hills at Greenbriar apartments on 2909 Campbellton Road and found the victim injured. The man, who was not conscious, was taken to a hospital and remained in serious condition as of Thursday, police said.
A physical fight between a group escalated to gunfire, but authorities did not say if the victim was part of that group. The victim was not publicly identified.
Police have not released information on a suspect or what may have led to the fight.
The Hills at Greenbriar, previously known as The Life at Greenbriar, is part of a collection of 376 apartments on a violence-plagued stretch of Campbellton Road in southwest Atlanta. In the past dozen years, at least eight people have been killed at the complex, an Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation revealed.
From 2017 to mid-2021, more than 4,100 emergency calls came from the apartment complex. One-third involved shootings, armed robberies, fights and other outbreaks of violence, including 20 rapes and 167 reports of shots fired, the AJC reported.
On Sunday and about a mile from The Hills at Greenbriar, police said two people were injured in a shooting at the 1890 Adams House apartments at 2280 Campbellton Road.
In the opposite direction, a woman was stabbed at the Venetian Hills Apartments at 1829 Campbellton Road on Tuesday, police said. A dispute with another woman led up to the stabbing, but police did not provide a motive.
