A Friday evening shooting at the Station 464 apartments on Boulevard in Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward left one teenager dead and three others wounded, according to police. Authorities say four people were hit by gunfire: males aged 16, 17 and 18, and a 23-year-old woman. The 18-year-old was later pronounced dead at a hospital, while the other three victims were taken to nearby hospitals and are reported to be in stable condition.
Officers were dispatched just before 5:30 p.m. to the 464 Station complex, where they found the victims and secured the scene, Rough Draft Atlanta reports. Investigators with the Homicide Unit were called in, and police say several individuals have been detained for questioning as the case remains open.
Where It Happened
Station 464 sits on the 400 block of Boulevard NE, a stretch of road that residents know has seen more than its share of trouble, including repeat gun violence and vehicle break-ins. In 2022, a security guard was wounded in a shooting at the same complex, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. Recent years have also brought multiple "person shot" alerts tied to Boulevard NE, with earlier posts from the Atlanta Police Department showing the corridor as a frequent destination for response calls.
Investigation
Detectives are canvassing the area, pulling surveillance footage and speaking with witnesses in an effort to piece together what led up to the gunfire, according to Rough Draft Atlanta. People detained at the scene are being interviewed, but police have not announced any arrests or formal charges. Investigators say the probe is active and that more details will be released as they become available.
How To Help
Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to contact Crime Stoppers or the Atlanta Police Department. Anonymous tips can be submitted at StopCrimeATL.org or by calling 404-577-TIPS (8477), according to the Atlanta Police Department. Investigators are specifically asking for witnesses who may have video or firsthand information to come forward to help identify suspects and clarify what unfolded before the shooting.
