South Fulton shooting victim dies after knocking on neighbor’s door for help

A South Fulton man stumbled to a neighbor’s house for help after being shot early Thursday morning, according to officials.

It was shortly before 1:30 a.m. when the man showed up on his neighbor’s doorstep in the Stonewall Manor subdivision, a neighborhood in the Cliftondale community of South Fulton filled with large brick homes and landscaped yards lining well-manicured streets. The neighbor, who lived two houses down from the victim’s Rainer Drive home, called police.

When officers arrived, they found the 45-year-old victim, whose name has not been released, with gunshot wounds. He died shortly after, South Fulton police said.
