PHOTOS: Atlanta police investigate shooting that left 1 dead, 1 injured
Atlanta police investigate a shooting along Cheshire Bridge Road that left one dead and another injured early Friday morning.
Shot to Death
A man is dead and another is injured after gunfire broke out early Friday morning, March 22, 2024 in a parking lot at a busy northeast Atlanta intersection, according to officials. Atlanta police said they got the call about a person shot shortly before 5 a.m. It happened in the parking lot of the old Rhodes Bakery building, which has since been closed, at the corner of Cheshire Bridge Road and Windemere Drive in the Morningside-Lenox Park neighborhood. Authorities said the injured man was shot multiple times in the leg and was undergoing surgery at Grady Memorial Hospital. He is expected to survive, but the other man died at the scene, officials said. Details are limited, but investigators said they believe a “narcotics transaction” is what precipitated the shooting, and it appears both men shot each other. Officers and crime scene investigators worked the scene throughout most of the morning looking for and documenting evidence. (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)
