Atlanta police units responded to a shooting at the BP gas station located on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Atlanta on August 21, 2024.

Atlanta police are investigating a shooting along Westland Boulevard near Martin Luther King Jr. Drive on Wednesday. 

Officers were called out shortly after 5 p.m. to the BP gas station on the corner of Westland Boulevard and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. 

According to the Atlanta Police Department, officers found a 41-year-old man with a gunshot wound. 

The man was rushed to an area hospital in critical condition. 

Investigators believe that the shooting had stemmed from a dispute just down the road along Westland Boulevard, just north of the MARTA rail tracks. 

"There was a verbal exchange between him and another male and he was shot inside the silver car. He drove from Westland boulevard to the BP and assisted with help," said Lt. Andrew Smith, the commander of the Atlanta Police Department Homicide Unit.

SKYFOX 5 flew over the scene and found investigators focusing on a silver car at the BP gas station.  

Officers also appeared to be searching the woods between the gas station and the Hamilton E. Holmes MARTA station. 

Investigators were there for several hours collecting evidence. Police say they don't have anyone detained and also did not have enough information to put out right now about the suspect as far as a description.

Police are reviewing surveillance video of the incident.
