A late-night drive along Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway ended in gunfire Wednesday when an Atlanta woman was shot after an attempted robbery that began at a Shell gas station, according to police. Officers responded around 9:45 p.m., and investigators later found the injured woman down the road near homes on Lindsay Street. She was taken to a hospital, but authorities have not released any details about the extent of her injuries. Detectives say the case remains under investigation.
Police response and what they said
As reported by WSB-TV, Atlanta police were called to the Shell at the intersection of Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway and Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard at about 9:45 p.m. Investigators told the station they believe the shooting followed an attempted robbery and that the woman was found near homes on Lindsay Street. Police have not released any suspect descriptions or other specifics, while detectives with the Robbery Unit continue canvassing the area and sorting through what led up to the gunfire.
Gas-station robberies in the corridor
Hoodline earlier flagged a string of armed hold-ups at Atlanta-area gas stations; one February post — Gunman Cleans Out NW Atlanta — described a suspect who walked out of a northwest station with roughly $6,000. That coverage also noted a March 2025 stickup at a Shell on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, and said clerks and small-business owners along the corridor have grown increasingly concerned. When surveillance footage surfaces, police have in the past asked the public for tips and video to help identify suspects.
What investigators are asking
Police have asked anyone with information about Wednesday night's shooting to contact investigators; WSB-TV reported that the Robbery Unit is handling the probe but did not share additional details. Detectives typically urge witnesses to call Atlanta police or Crime Stoppers and to share any surveillance video that might help identify suspects. We will update this post if APD releases more information about the victim's condition or any arrests.
