Atlanta Police Department investigators are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying three suspects in the shooting of an 11-year-old boy.

APD has released surveillance video that shows the boy being shot by the three assailants.

Atlanta Police Zone 4 officers responded to a report of a person shot at 3202 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. on Jan. 14 at approximately 6:18 p.m. Upon arrival at the scene, officers located the 11-year-old victim who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

The child was alert, conscious, and breathing and transported to the hospital by ambulance.

Preliminary investigation indicates the victim was running from three male suspects and eventually hid from them. The victim was subsequently discovered by the suspects, and all three suspects discharged firearms at the boy striking him twice.

Anyone with information on this case can submit a tip anonymously to the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at (404) 577-TIPS (8477), online at www.StopCrimeAtl.org, or by texting CSA and the tip to CRIMES (274637). Persons do not have to give their name or any identifying information to be eligible for the reward of up to $2,000.

A screen capture from the surveillance video shows three assailants shooting an 11-year-old boy.
