A man was found shot in the stomach Wednesday afternoon in downtown Atlanta, police said. But officers nearby never heard a gunshot, leading investigators to believe the man was shot somewhere else.

The man was found near the intersection of Trinity Avenue and Peachtree Street, Sgt. Curtis Davenport with Atlanta police said.

The victim, whose name as not released, was not cooperating with officers at the scene, police said. He was alert when he was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, Davenport said.

Investigators believe the man was shot elsewhere and dropped off downtown, but have not identified the crime scene.
