Atlanta police are investigating a fatal shooting that left a 22-year-old woman dead early Tuesday at an apartment complex on Defoors Ferry Road in northwest Atlanta.
What happened in the northwest Atlanta shooting
Officers were called to the apartment complex at about 2 a.m. after reports of gunfire. When they arrived, they did not find a victim at the scene.
Police later learned that a friend had driven the woman to Grady Memorial Hospital instead of calling an ambulance. She had been shot in the torso and later died from her injuries.
Friend questioned by homicide detectives
The man who drove the woman to Grady was taken to Atlanta Police Department headquarters to speak with homicide investigators about the shooting.
“Right now, what we do know is it appears to be an isolated incident inside an apartment,” police said. “We’re still working on the motive.”
Investigation remains active
Investigators said the woman did not live at the apartment complex. Police have not released her name.
Her family gathered at Grady Memorial Hospital after learning of her death as investigators worked to determine what led to the shooting.
Crime scene investigators were processing the apartment Tuesday morning. Police have not identified a suspect or disclosed a possible motive.
The investigation is ongoing, and the information in this developing news story may change as more details become available.
