A late-night shooting near a restaurant on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway pulled Atlanta police to the scene Wednesday, turning a familiar northwest Atlanta intersection into an active crime scene once again.
Officers were called just after 10 p.m. to the intersection of Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway NW and Hamilton E. Holmes Drive NW, where a person had been shot. The victim’s condition has not been released, and investigators have not said anything about who might be responsible or what led up to the gunfire.
According to WSB‑TV, police were dispatched to the intersection shortly after 10 p.m. The station reports that officers have not commented on the severity of the victim’s injuries and have not released information about any possible suspects. WSB‑TV said its crews were heading to the scene for live coverage.
Where this happened
The stretch of Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway has seen repeated shootings and frequent police responses in recent years, a pattern local outlets have documented. Reporting on multiple incidents on Hollowell and an officer-involved shooting in the corridor last October, covered by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, has highlighted just how often this roadway draws a police presence.
Police asking for tips
Atlanta police are asking anyone with information about Wednesday’s shooting to contact Crime Stoppers at 404‑577‑TIPS (8477) or submit an anonymous tip online, according to the Atlanta Police Department. People who have video or first-hand information are encouraged to share it with investigators to help move the case forward.
As of Wednesday night, police had not announced any arrests, according to WSB‑TV. The investigation remains active, and authorities say they will release more details as they become available.
