Atlanta Police are investigating a shooting death that occurred on Tuesday, Nov. 26, around 11 p.m. at gas station on Northside Drive. Zone One patrol units responded to a person shot call at the Chevron Gas Station, 548 Northside Drive and found a woman with a gunshot wound to the chest in the parking lot. The victim was transported to Grady Hospital where she died from the injury.
Initial reports indicated that the victim and her companions stopped to pick up a hitchhiker around the area of North Avenue and James P Brawley Drive. But further investigation has revealed inconsistencies in some of the information obtained during the preliminary on scene investigation. At this point in the investigation, APD has concluded that no hitchhiker was picked up or involved nor was the shooting a random act of violence. The investigation is still ongoing and active at this time, according to APD reports.
