Homicide investigators were combing the parking lot of a Mechanicsville apartment complex for evidence Monday morning after a man was shot to death inside a car.
Police got a call about a person shot around 2 a.m. at the Columbia at Mechanicsville Crossing apartments at the intersection of Wells and Humphries streets in southwest Atlanta. When officers arrived, they found a man wounded inside a red sedan. He was identified as 28-year-old Tremaine Glasper, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Several bullets had shattered the car’s windows and doors, with most of them concentrated on the driver’s-side window. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, Atlanta police Capt. Jeff Childers told reporters.
“Indications are at this time that two males approached this victim while he was in his car and fired multiple rounds,” Childers said.

The two men quickly left the scene with a third suspect in a black Dodge Charger, Channel 2 Action News reported. The motive for the shooting is not clear.
Police confirmed that Glasper lived at the apartment complex, according to the news station.
Crime scene tape was strung up in the parking lot just inside the community’s gate as investigators photographed the area, gathered evidence and spoke to witnesses.
