Atlanta Police are investigating the possibility two downtown shootings on Monday, Nov. 20, could be related.
Police say a gunshot victim was was dropped off by a private vehicle at City Hall, 55 Trinity Ave. SW, at about 2:30 p.m. The victim, an adult male, collapsed outside City Hall and was treated by Grady Memorial Hospital EMS workers.
The victim at City Hall, who was conscious and alert, told police he was shot in Forest Park, according to an Atlanta Police Department spokesperson. However, officers suspect the victim may be related to a fatal shooting that happened at about the same time on nearby Peters Street.
“The victim initially indicated that the incident occurred in Forest Park. At this time, we are still working to determine where the incident occurred,” the APD spokesperson said in an email.
APD said in a news release late Monday that the victim who was dropped off at City Hall was transported to a hospital for treatment.
Police said an adult male was found shot to death shortly before 3 p.m. at 210 Peters St. SW.
“Preliminary investigation indicates these two incidents may be related,” according to APD. “Investigators with the Homicide Unit responded to the scenes to determine the circumstances surrounding the incidents. The investigation continues.”
