Gunman at-large after man killed in shooting outside Shell gas station and American Deli in SE Atlanta
ATLANTA - Atlanta police say they are still looking for the gunman in a deadly shooting Thursday afternoon outside a southeast Atlanta gas station.
APD announced Friday a man detained after the incident is not the shooter. Officers in Atlanta’s Zone 6 took the man into custody while investigating the deadly shooting outside the gas station that carried over into the parking lot of a neighboring restaurant.
The shooting was reported around 4 p.m. along the 300 block of Hill Street SE, at the Shell gas station near the American Deli restaurant. Atlanta Police say the victim, a male in his 20s, suffered a gunshot wound.
Officers attempted CPR at the scene, but the victim was pronounced dead by first responders.
Surveillance video obtained by FOX 5 shows the shooting unfold in the gas station parking lot. FOX 5's Brittany Edney has learned that the victim was walking outside the American Deli before he was struck. She spoke to the victim's family who says their son was 22-years-old.
As of Friday morning, Atlanta Police have not yet officially released the victim's name and age.
