Last Saturday, the streets of Jones Avenue NW were shaken by the sound of gunfire. At approximately 9:53pm, Atlanta police were dispatched to 1968 Jones Avenue NW following reports of a shooting, where they found two men with gunshot wounds, the Atlanta Police Department confirmed in a release.
Both victims were quickly attended to by emergency medical services and rushed to a nearby hospital. Tragically, one of the men succumbed to his injuries while the other continues to fight for his life. Law enforcement officials are working to piece together what led to the shooting.
