A man was killed and another was injured early Sunday in a shooting near a Chick-fil-A restaurant in southwest Atlanta, authorities said.
Atlanta police were called just before 1 a.m. to the 800 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in the Vine City neighborhood for a person shot. The address corresponds to K.O.’s Beauty Barber & more, a barber shop located across the street from the fast food restaurant, which was closed at the time of the gunfire.
When officers arrived, they found a 46-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound, according to police. The man, who was not publicly identified, was pronounced dead at the scene by medical crews.
Police said they couldn’t comment on whether the deceased victim was found inside or outside the barbershop.
During the investigation, officers got word that a 34-year-old man had been taken to the hospital in a private vehicle after being shot at the scene. He is expected to be OK, police said. His identity and relationship to the other victim was not released.
Detectives are still working to determine a motive and what led to the gunfire. No arrests have been made.
