One dead, one wounded after southwest Atlanta shootout
One man is dead and another is in the hospital after an overnight shootout in southwest Atlanta.
The gunfire broke out shortly before midnight Thursday at a townhome on Brownlee Road.
“One male is deceased inside the residence and the other victim was outside the residence,” Atlanta police Lt. Charles Hampton told Channel 2 Action News. “It appears that the two individuals were involved in some type of verbal altercation.”
The dead man was identified as 25-year-old Brandon Jones, according to Channel 2. The second man, whose name has not been released, was in surgery early Friday at Grady Memorial Hospital.
