Police are investigating a series of fatal shootings that occurred over the weekend in the Atlanta area, raising concerns about increasing violence. The incidents involved a range of victims and circumstances, prompting multiple law enforcement agencies to become involved in the investigations.
Southwest Atlanta Shooting
Officers responded to a call about a person being shot at 2070 Alison Court SW just after 10 p.m. on Saturday night. They discovered a 33-year-old man with significant gunshot wounds, who was pronounced dead at the scene by medical officials. No information has been released regarding possible suspects, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Road Rage Incident on I-75
Shortly after the first shooting, another incident unfolded around 10:20 p.m. on I-75 northbound near Northside Drive NW. Here, Atlanta officers found a 21-year-old man lying in the road after a road rage incident escalated into a shooting. The victim was also pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel. According to the Georgia State Patrol (GSP), gunfire was exchanged between the drivers of a silver car and a Ford pickup truck.
After the altercation, the victim exited his car, only to be struck by an unknown vehicle that fled the scene. A patrol vehicle from the Atlanta Police Department (APD) traveling northbound subsequently hit the driver. The APD Homicide Unit is handling the shooting incident while the GSP is dealing with the crash involving the hit-and-run vehicle and the APD patrol car. An autopsy conducted by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the official cause and manner of death for the victim, although his identity has not been released.
Tragic Shooting of a 9-Month-Old in Cobb County
Meanwhile, in a separate incident in Cobb County, 22-year-old Ladarrius Tremelle Brown has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of a 9-month-old girl outside a motel. Brown faces charges including aggravated assault, felony murder, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He is being held without bond at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.
The infant was shot when someone opened fire in the back parking lot of the Budgetel Inn located on Circle 75 Parkway. The child died at the scene, and no motive for the shocking act has been disclosed. Authorities anticipate making more arrests as the investigation continues.
Shooting at Camelot Condominiums
In an additional shooting incident at the Camelot Condominiums in South Fulton around 3 p.m. on Thursday, officers found a man who had sustained two gunshot wounds.
