Conyers shooting victim air-lifted, multiple shot in attempted robbery, suspects at-large

CONYERS, Ga. - Rockdale County and Newton County's sheriff's offices are working together to investigate an attempted armed robbery and shooting with multiple victims in Conyers.

Sergeant Jack Redlinger with the Newton County Sheriff's Department said they got the call to the Crestfield Circle in Covington just before 8 p.m.

Investigators said that is where three people in a car together were shot Saturday night. Officials believe a group of four men opened fire on them in an attempted robbery.

All three victims were taken to the hospital in stable condition, but one victim had to be airlifted, according to officials.

Shell casings and debris littered the parking lot as investigators were left trying to put the pieces together.

Through a preliminary investigation, Sgt. Redlinger said one of the victims attempted to run from the car and was shot in the leg. The other two were shot while still sitting in the car.

Investigators said the two victims who were still in the car drove to a nearby Shell gas station on Salem Road in Rockdale County.

The four men believed to be responsible are still on the run.

The good news is the three victims who officials believe are in their 30s are all expected to be okay.

Anyone with information that can help in this case is urged to come forward to the Newton County Sheriff's Department as soon as possible.
