Driver killed in overnight shooting near DeKalb County apartments
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - DeKalb County detectives are working to learn what led to a deadly shooting on Flat Shoals Road early Wednesday morning. The shooting happened near an apartment complex and church close to Interstate 20. What we know While details of the investigation are limited, authorities say they were called to the 2500 block of Flat Shoals Road around 2:25 a.m. after reports of a shooting. FOX 5 cameras saw that investigators were focusing on a black truck that appeared to have crashed nearby. Officers were working to tow the vehicle away from the scene. Police have covered a body that was in the driver's seat with a white cloth. The DeKalb County Medical Examiner arrived on the scene to pronounce the victim dead. The investigation shut down part of the road for hours while crews worked at the scene. A large crowd gathered in the area. What we don't know Information about what led up to the shooting has not been released. Authorities have not released the identity of the victim other than saying that he was a man in his 30s. What they're saying A woman on the scene who identified herself as the victim's aunt said that she believes the man was visiting the apartments before the shooting. She's hoping that security cameras in the complex and around the area may help bring whoever killed her nephew to justice. "This was just nonsense. You just shot an innocent man in his truck - close range. They need to turn themselves in because we aren't going to rest until we get justice," she said. What you can do If you have any information that could help with the investigation, call the DeKalb County Police Department, send an anonymous tip through the free Tip411 app, or text 847411, followed by the tip. The Source Information for this story came from reports by FOX 5's Brooke Zauner from the scene.
