A child was found dead in southwest Atlanta on Monday evening, and police have yet to release even the most basic details about what happened. Officers responded to the 3500 block of Cardinal Drive SW, where the death is now under investigation.
According to Atlanta News First, Atlanta police are investigating the death of a child that occurred Monday evening. The station reported that the investigation is centered in the 3500 block of Cardinal Drive SW, but said no further details were available at the time of publication.
Separately, FOX 5 Atlanta reported that Atlanta police officers responded to that same address and are investigating the child’s death at the Aviary Park Townhomes. Police told the outlet the investigation remains ongoing, but said they have not released the child’s identity or age.
No Details on Cause or Suspects
Investigators have not disclosed the cause of death, nor have they said whether anyone is in custody in connection with the case, per the same report from Fox 5 Atlanta. Police have not provided any additional information about the circumstances surrounding what happened at the townhome complex.
With so little confirmed so far, residents of the Cardinal Drive SW area are left waiting for answers alongside the rest of the city. Atlanta police have indicated only that the death investigation is ongoing, and no timeline has been given for when more information might be released.
This is a developing story, and Hoodline will update it as police release additional information.
