Police: Man robbed, shot in DeKalb

A 34-year-old man was robbed and shot early Monday in DeKalb County, police said.

Jeffery Brown, 34, of Lithonia, was shot in the lower torso area after someone stole his 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer, DeKalb police Capt. Stephen Fore told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. About 3 a.m., he went to the Citgo gas station at 2630 Gresham Rd. to ask for help, Fore said.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery at an area hospital, has not been able to provide a clear description of the suspect, Fore said.

Brown’s vehicle has not been located and the incident remains under investigation, Fore said.
