A 25-year-old man was shot and killed at a southeast Atlanta convenience store Friday night, police said.
Atlanta police homicide investigators told Channel 2 Action News the man was a targeted victim.
Police were called out to the Texaco gas and convenience store on Clifton Street around 8:30 p.m., according to Atlanta Police Department call records.
Witnesses told police a man entered the convenience store wearing a mask and gloves. The man walked up to a customer, shot him and proceeded to run away, police said.
“We do have an individual who went inside the store,” Homicide Lt. Ralph Woolfolk told Channel 2 Action News. “It appears he had on a mask as well as latex gloves. He was apparently carrying two weapons at the time and expelled a barrage of gunfire on the victim inside.”
Investigators are trying to identify the shooter by looking at the surveillance camera videos.
Atlanta police are asking anyone who has information about this incident to call them at 404-614-6544 or contact Greater Atlanta Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477). Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and be eligible for a reward if their information leads to an arrest or indictment.
