A somber dawn broke over the west side of Atlanta this morning, as the city awoke to news of another life cut short by gunfire. Atlanta police confirmed that they responded to a shooting in the early hours of the morning on the 3900 block of Cornell Boulevard SW, a quiet enclave intersected by Dartmouth Drive SW and marred now by violence.
The incident, which unfolded just before the cusp of day, left one person dead—a detail reported by local media outlets FOX 5 Atlanta and acknowledged by the authorities. However, the victim’s identity has not been released as the investigation continues.
While an air of mystery hangs heavy over Cornell Boulevard, Atlanta News First notes that the investigation is very much active and ongoing. Police have not yet released any information about a motive or an arrest, leaving the public with little clarity as they worry about safety in their neighborhood.
