Atlanta police are investigating a deadly shooting at a West Midtown student housing center on Thursday.

Officers are at the scene at the Westmar Student Lofts on the 800 block of West Marietta Street in West Midtown.

While details about the shooting are limited, officials have confirmed that the victim was a 24-year-old man.

The investigation is ongoing. 

The Atlanta private student housing location has seen multiple shootings in the past few years. In May 2023, a man was rushed to the hospital after police said he was shot while handing a gun to a friend during a party.

Another 24-year-old man was killed at the complex in April 2022. Months later, officials say the suspected gunman was arrested at a traffic stop in New York.

If you have any information about the recent shooting, call the Atlanta Police Department.
