The sound of police sirens echoed throughout the concrete parking garage of a northwest Atlanta apartment complex Tuesday evening after a woman was found dead inside.

Atlanta police responded at around 7:40 p.m. to the Mark at West Midtown on Bishop Street and found a 26-year-old woman unresponsive after being shot. The complex is located in the neighborhood of Loring Heights near the border of Buckhead and Atlantic Station.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene by medical crews. She was identified as Morgan Lawrence by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Police have not provided a motive, and the circumstances surrounding her death are unclear at this time. The medical examiner’s office declined to comment.

An investigation is ongoing.
