A shooting victim who was taken to the hospital with critical injuries Monday died overnight after an incident in a southwest Atlanta neighborhood that left two others with non-life-threatening injuries.

Atlanta police confirmed that the shooting took place in the 2000 block of Briar Ridge Way just after 4:30 p.m. The area is a residential neighborhood just outside I-285, less than a mile from Therrell High School and Kimberly Elementary School.

One victim was rushed to the hospital with critical injuries, but two others spoke to officers at the scene before being taken for medical care, police said. Officials later confirmed that the critically injured victim died at the hospital.

Police have not shared any further information about the shooting, including the circumstances around the incident or if anyone was arrested.

None of the victims has been publicly identified.
