In the pre-dawn quiet of Emily Place NW, a gunshot broke the silence resulting in a fatality last weekend. The Atlanta Police Department responded to a call regarding a person shot at 520 Emily Place NW around 2 a.m. on January 22. According to the official Atlanta Police Department report, upon arrival, officers discovered an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
Efforts to save the man were in vain as Atlanta Fire Rescue, quickly arriving on the scene, pronounced the individual deceased. Details surrounding the incident remain scant, but a possible suspect was detained by officers shortly after their arrival.
