No Word Yet on What Sparked the Shooting
Investigators have not released any information about what led up to Tuesday's shooting, per the same outlet's report. The circumstances remain unclear, and no suspect information has been made public as the case continues to develop.
This is not the first time gunfire has struck this stretch of southwest Atlanta. In March, police investigated a deadly shooting at 8 Cleveland Avenue SW in Glenrose Heights, where, as FOX 5 Atlanta reported, a man was shot and killed on a sidewalk near the corner of Cleveland Avenue SE and Macon Drive SW, in front of the 24/7 Food Mart, around 7:20 p.m.
Tuesday's shooting follows a deadly shooting in Glenrose Heights in March. This remains a developing story, and further details are expected as investigators continue their work.
