Atlanta police homicide commander Lt. Charles Hampton said the incident happened around 5:45 p.m. on the 300 block of Holly Street in northwest Atlanta.
Billy Favors, 27, of Atlanta was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds inside an apartment, he said. Witnesses told police a white car with three men inside was seen leaving the area.
