A 15-year-old was critically injured in a shooting in South Fulton yesterday evening, according to local authorities. Police were called just after 6:20 p.m. to the 4900 block of Delano Road near Roosevelt Highway, where they discovered the teenager with a gunshot wound outside Freedom Park Apartments. A South Fulton Police Department spokesperson stated that the juvenile was rushed to a nearby hospital and is currently in critical condition. The brief announcement failed to provide details about the circumstances surrounding the shooting or any suspects involved.
As investigators thoroughly searched the area for evidence, they also made efforts to widely interview witnesses and canvass for video that might shed light on the incident. However, it is not clear whether their efforts have yet yielded any significant leads. According to FOX 5 Atlanta, the evidence collected from the scene is still being examined, and the police have not released any information on whether they have identified a suspect or determined a motive. The report also indicated that the weapon used has not been recovered.
The police have not disclosed whether they are looking for any specific persons of interest at this time. Statements from authorities regarding the case have been scant, and Atlanta News First coverage notes that further details were not immediately available.
