The Brookhaven Police Department is investigating a shooting on March 22 in the parking lot of a busy Kroger store on Peachtree Boulevard.
According to a release from the department, officers were dispatched to the parking lot of the store shortly before 10 a.m., where a man was found to be suffering from a gunshot wound.
“Officers provided first aid until DeKalb County Fire Department and DeKalb AMR arrived on scene,” the release said. “The victim has been transported to a local hospital for medical treatment.”
Police said there are no suspects in custody and the investigation remains active.
In January, Brookhaven Police Chief Brandon Gurley reported that year-over-year statistics show that crime within the city is down significantly, with homicides down 50 percent, rape cases reduced by 29 percent, robbery lessened by 30 percent, and reported aggravated assaults down almost 12 percent.
Burglary incidents are down more than 44 percent, from 157 in 2024 to 87 in 2025, statistics gathered by the department show.
The council commended the department for its quick action in handling incidents within the city, as well as proactive moves to thwart crime before it happens.
The council presentation is a high-level snapshot, and a comprehensive report will be presented at the end of the first quarter, including a neighborhood-by-neighborhood analysis, the report said.
