Yesterday morning, residents in DeKalb County woke to news of a shooting in their midst. The DeKalb County Police Department is actively investigating an incident that occurred around 2:30 a.m. on the 2000 block of Chestnut Hill Circle. Details are scarce, but what is known is that a man suffered gunshot wounds and had to be taken to a local hospital for treatment. His condition, as of the latest reports, has not been disclosed, FOX 5 Atlanta reported.
In a separate but equally troubling event, the identity of a man killed at a DeKalb gas station was released Tuesday morning. It occurred just before 5 a.m. Monday, only a few hours before the Chestnut Hill Circle incident, at a BP station near the Pine Lake Beach vicinity. Christopher Estrada-Petersen, 25, from Hampton, was found deceased from a gunshot wound. The DeKalb police, despite their prompt arrival and engagement of homicide detectives, have not yet ascertained a motive or made any arrests in this fatal shooting, according to details from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
As families and friends seek answers, the police urge anyone with information pertaining to either shooting to come forward.
