Police looking for 19-year-old in shooting of girlfriend

Atlanta police Wednesday were looking for a 19-year-old man suspected of shooting his 17-year-old girlfriend to death.

The shooting happened shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday at a home on Detroit Avenue in northwest Atlanta, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office.

"It appeared that there was some type of argument," Atlanta police Lt. Paul Guerrucci told WSB-TV. "At this point, we're not clear ... what the argument was about."

The names of the suspect and the victim, who WSB reported was pregnant, have not been released.
