DeKalb police were investigating a drive-by shooting that left a 20-year-old Stone Mountain man dead in the street near his home.
When police arrived at the scene late Friday on Lake Watch Drive in the Mainstreet Park area, a short distance from South Hairston Road, they found Keith Vaughn with multiple gunshot wounds.
According to Channel 2 Action News, witnesses said the man was walking when a dark-colored Buick drove by slowly. Occupants in the vehicle fired numerous rounds before fleeing, the witnesses said.
Michelle Jackson, the victim's aunt, said Vaughn lived a short distance from where he was killed. "It's not right," Jackson told Channel 2.
One of Vaughn's friend said the victim didn't have "a beef "with anyone. "He just always kept calm," Jennifer Poston said.
At least one of the six shots neighbors said they heard went into a nearby house.
Jordan Richburg, 12, told Channel 2 he was watching TV with a cousin when a bullet came through his garage and hit a picture hanging on a wall.
"That's when that shattered and then we just like crawled out and then went upstairs," Jordan said."[I] could have gotten shot, but God let me see another day."
Family members urged the killers to come forward.
