DeKalb County police spent the early hours of Monday morning working a reported shooting at the Park at Somerset apartment complex in Stone Mountain, after officers were called to the property around 2 a.m. Investigators zeroed in on the entrance area of the complex and spent a noticeable amount of time checking upstairs units, but by daybreak officials had not released any information about injuries, victims or arrests as crews continued their work at the scene.
Officers Focus On Entrance And Upstairs Units
According to WSB-TV, officers responded around 2 a.m. Monday to the Park at Somerset apartments on Abberley Way just off Hambrick Road. Channel 2’s Eryn Rogers reported that police were seen going in and out of a building near the front of the complex, with much of the visible investigative work centered on units located on the upper floor.
Location Details
Property listings identify Park at Somerset as being located at 640 Abberley Way in Stone Mountain, which matches the stretch of Abberley Way near Hambrick Road where police were staged, according to ApartmentHomeLiving. The complex is two stories, with multiple upstairs units, a layout that may help explain why detectives were seen focusing on the upper level, even though authorities have not said whether they recovered anything during their search.
History Of Shootings In The Area
DeKalb police have been called to shootings on or near Abberley Way in prior years. In July 2023, WSB-TV reported on a deadly shooting at an Abberley Way address. In cases like this, investigators typically urge anyone who saw or heard anything to contact DeKalb County police, and this story will be updated as authorities release additional details.
