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.

Parking deck construction to impact traffic at Atlanta airport
The Brief Work has begun on a new parking deck at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport's South Terminal. The construction will cause changes to the traffic patterns, which could lead to delays for travelers during the busy Memorial Day season. The construction work is expected to take the rest of the year. ATLANTA - Get ready for a new traffic flow at the world's busiest airport.

The changes come just as the summer travel season begins to heat up.

The airport says that access to the South daily and hourly parking decks will not be impacted by the work. The construction of new parking decks is needed, officials argue, because more and more travelers are heading through the Atlanta airport. By 2020, Hartsfield-Jackson estimates 125 million people will fly in and out of Atlanta every year. The new deck is expected to open in late 2026 and will have nearly 7,000 spaces and smart technology.

Airport leaders are expecting about 2.6 million passengers will travel through the transit hub over the holiday period. What you can do Airport officials recommend arriving at least three hours before you're supposed to board to give yourself enough time to get through security. Check TSA wait times here. They also recommend planning ahead if you need to park your car. If it's been a minute since the last time you flew, you may be unaware that rates went up at the end of April. For travelers driving to the airport, officials say you should plan ahead for potential delays or slower-moving traffic. You can also use the ATL West Deck, ATL Select, or the Domestic Park-Ride Lot.
