DeKalb County police are investigating after a shooting at an apartment complex Sunday afternoon killed a man and left a 15-year-old boy injured.
Little is known about the double shooting at the Fairington Ridge apartment complex off Panola Road. A man was found dead when police arrived about 12:15 p.m., according to Channel 2 Action News.
A second shooting victim, described by police as a 15-year-old, was stable when he was taken to a hospital, the news station reported.
Police have not released the names of the victims, but friends online identified the slain man as 45-year-old Othneil “Nutty” Johnson. In a GoFundMe post, friends said Johnson was helping someone with their car at the time of his death.
“Johnson was a devoted husband, a loving father of six, an uncle, brother, son, DJ and friend to many,” the GoFundMe page said.
It is unknown if the victims were the intended targets of the gunfire.
