Gunfight in Atlanta leaves teen dead
Family members tell FOX 5 the victim in a gunfight that started during a fight on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway had just turned 18 years old. Another teen is fighting for his life in the hospital.
ATLANTA - One teenager is dead and another is fighting for his life after a late night shooting in northwest Atlanta.
Officers were called out shortly before 11:15 p.m. to the 2500 block of Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway after a report of a shooting. Atlanta police say officers found both teens suffering from gunshot wounds near what might be a recording studio.
Medics pronounced 18-year-old Dominic McKibbins dead at the scene. The other teen was rushed to an area hospital in critical condition.
The victims' loved ones quickly rushed to the scene, where they were overcome with grief.
"My grandson is 18 years old. He just turned 18-years-old," said Joann McKibbins, who identified herself as the grandmother of the teen who was killed.
Investigators believe the incident began as a dispute between a large group of people that erupted into gunfire with multiple shooters and dozens of bullets flying.
Detectives fare hoping that surveillance video will help them piece together what led up to the shootout and who pulled the trigger.
At this time, police have not identified any of the shooters and no arrests have been made. The identity of the second victim has also not been released.
Speaking to FOX 5, McKibbins vowed to get justice for her grandson's death.
"You see this lady's face right here? Look in my eyes," she said. "I'm not going to ever let it happen again so you better turn yourself in."
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Atlanta Police Department or Atlanta Crime Stoppers.
