A Cobb County man died Thursday after police found him shot in the breezeway of a Marietta motel, authorities said.
Officers responded to a 911 call at a Motel 6 on Delk Road near I-75 just after 8 a.m. and found the 38-year-old man lying outside a fifth-floor room with at least one gunshot wound, Marietta police spokesman Officer Chuck McPhilamy told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The victim, identified as Quinton Eugene Mosely, was still breathing at the scene, according to police. He was rushed to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital, but died of his injuries.
Detectives are working to determine if Mosely was a guest at the motel, McPhilamy said. There was a heavy police presence in the area for much of the morning as investigators spoke with potential witnesses and worked to piece together what happened.
“At this point, we’re still gathering information,” McPhilamy said. “We’re still knocking on doors and talking with people.”
Police have not identified a suspect in the case and said it’s unclear what may have led to the shooting.
