A man in Lithonia was killed Monday night in what police suspect could be a drive-by shooting.
Leland Sims, 26, was shot once and died at the scene, said police. The suspects fled the area after a number of shots were fired.
Several houses in the 6300 block of Phillips Court were riddled with bullets and Sims was found dead in one of the front yards.
“Currently we do not have a motive or know what started the gunfire,” said Capt. S.R. Fore, a spokesman with the DeKalb Police Department. “Detectives are currently working this case attempting to locate and interview witnesses and develop more information.”
No one else was injured in the shooting.
