Man shot along North Druid Hills Road at I-85 SB dies

BROOKHAVEN, Ga. - Investigators hope someone driving along North Druid Hills Road near Interstate 85 may have seen something that will help find whoever shot a man on Friday afternoon.

The investigation closed the on-ramp on southbound I-85 for several hours. The accessway has since reopened.

A passerby called 911 just shortly before 4:20 p.m. to report a man had been struck and run over by a car.

Officers arrived on the scene and could not find the victim. Eventually, a witness directed them to the man who, at this point, ended up on the entrance ramp to the interstate.

The man suffered from a single gunshot wound to his chest, police say.

Medics quickly arrived and attempted to revive the man. He was not responsive when he was rushed to an area hospital. Authorities confirmed he died from his injuries.

The name of the man has not been released.

Police are asking anyone who drove through the area between 4 p.m. and 4:45 p.m. to give them a call. That person may have the key to finding out what happened.

Investigators say there is no information about the shooter.
