A person was shot and killed Friday at an apartment complex in Atlanta's Collier Heights neighborhood, police said. The shooting happened at 2798 Peek Road NW, according to Atlanta police.
As reported by Atlanta News First, the story was developing. The address is the location of the Park West apartment complex, a multi-building rental community managed by Cortland, according to a Cortland listing.
This is not the first time gunfire has erupted at Park West. In June, Atlanta police responded to a fight involving a large group at the complex that escalated into shooting, leaving a 16-year-old and an 18-year-old wounded — an incident Hoodline previously covered as two teens hit. Police at the time noted the 18-year-old victim had active arrest warrants, per CBS News.
