A black Audi riddled with bullet holes has become the focal point of a DeKalb County police investigation after a shooting early Wednesday in a neighborhood near Kenridge Circle and Rockbridge Road. Officers were still working the scene as the morning went on, with no word yet on who fired the shots or why.
According to Atlanta News First, DeKalb County police are investigating a shooting that happened early Wednesday in the neighborhood, and the police investigation centered on a black Audi that appeared to have bullet holes. A crew from the outlet was on the scene near Kenridge Circle and Rockbridge Road as officers worked the case.
Police have not released any information about the shooting, the outlet reported, and the newsroom said it was working to learn more. No details have surfaced yet on who was inside the Audi, whether anyone was hurt, or what led up to the gunfire.
A Stretch of Road With a Troubled Recent History
The area around Rockbridge Road has seen other violent incidents in recent memory, though nothing in the record ties them to Wednesday's shooting. A fatal shooting broke out in a parking lot on the 7100 block of Rockbridge Road after officers rushed there around 9:02 p.m. Saturday following reports of gunfire, per FOX 5 Atlanta. Investigators in that case believed a dispute between the victim and another person had escalated into deadly violence.
Separately, two women were struck when shots were fired toward a Chevron gas station from a passing vehicle on Rockbridge Road, FOX 5 Atlanta reported. A 22-year-old woman was grazed by a bullet, and a 34-year-old woman was injured by flying glass, according to officials cited in that report.
Nearby, a man was found dead after authorities responded to a report of a person shot in the 3300 block of Kenridge Parkway around 10 a.m. Tuesday, 11Alive reported. That same report said another victim was found at 3900 Memorial Drive, though that person's condition had not been released.
None of these incidents has been confirmed as connected to Wednesday's shot-up Audi, and the evidence does not establish any broader pattern tying the cases together. For now, the investigation into the bullet-riddled vehicle near Kenridge Circle remains its own open case, with police yet to share who was targeted or why.
