Atlanta police believe a gunshot victim who turned up at a southwest Atlanta gas station Thursday night was shot at another location.

The 21-year-old was conscious when officers responded to a Citgo at the corner of Fairburn Road and Benjamin E. Mays Drive shortly before 9:30 p.m., but he later died at a hospital, according to police. He was identified Saturday as Claudly Pierre Jr.

“Preliminary investigation indicates the shooting may have occurred at another location,” the police department said in a statement.

The shooting remains under investigation, and authorities have not identified any suspects in the case.
