Around 1:15 a.m. Sunday, police responded to the scene of a shooting at the Paces Crossing apartments at 4300 Jimmy Carter Blvd. in unincorporated Norcross, Cpl. Jake Smith said.
A man in his mid-30s was found on the floor near the door of his apartment with multiple gunshot wounds, Smith said. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died. His name has not been released, pending notification of next of kin.
