Man killed, woman injured at Windward Forest Apartments

A man was killed and a woman was injured at the Windward Forest Apartments on Wednesday morning in Lithonia.

One person is dead and another is fighting for their lives after a shooting early Wednesday morning at an apartment complex in Lithonia.

Multiple police vehicles and crime scene investigators responded to the Windward Forest apartments on the 2600 block of Embarcadero Drive near Emory Hillandale Hospital.

Crime scene tape cordoned off part of the complex's parking lot and a grassy area nearby where officers had placed several evidence markers. 

Officers say they were called to the apartment complex after reports of a shooting. At the scene, they found two victims who had been shot. 

Medics pronounced one of the victims dead at the scene. The second victim has been rushed to a local hospital in critical condition.

According to investigators, the shooting was not random, and the gunman knew the victims.

While officials have not shared any details about the gunman, they say that there is no danger to the community at this time.
