I-285 shooting victim dies, police continue search for shooter
Woman killed in I-285 shooting
A woman died days after being shot while driving along Interstate 285 near Church Street last week.
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - Police in DeKalb County said the victim of a shooting along Interstate 285 on May 26 has died.
Sheikevious Young, 21, died from her injuries on Tuesday, police said.
The shooting happened on the northbound side of the interstate near Church Street just before midnight.
"What did she do to deserve that? What did she do," Young's father, Larry Brown, said.
Brown said Young was driving home from work.
"It was a lot of tears and crying and moaning and groaning. I am going to get some therapy because I literally did not know you could get as sad as I got yesterday," Brown said.
Officers arrived at the scene to find Young suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. They were rushed to an area hospital where he remained in critical condition until they passed.
"We flew down there, seen her, just horrible like the bullet went through her frontal lobe. This is not anything you want to ever see for anybody-let alone your child," Brown said.
The shooter has not been identified.
"It's nothing I can do to get her back but the insult to injury is the fact that the person who did it is at home eating a sandwich right now. They're just having a regular life," Brown said.
Investigators are asking anyone who may have been in the area around 11:49 p.m. that night to contact the DeKalb County Police Department's Homicide/Assault Unit at 770-724-7850 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS.
