A man was shot and killed Friday afternoon at an apartment complex near the Lindbergh MARTA station, police said.
Officers were called to the Ibex at Uptown apartments in the 2400 block of Camellia Lane around 4:20 p.m. regarding the shooting. At the scene, police said 31-year-old Valur Thor Valsson was located suffering from a gunshot wound and in critical condition. About an hour later, authorities confirmed Valsson had died.
No details were released about what led to the shooting or where in the complex it occurred.
The apartments are a short walk from the Lindbergh MARTA station in southeast Buckhead.
In July 2022, a man was shot at the complex after two men attempted to rob him, police said.
Two years earlier, a 42-year-old man was shot in the head and killed following a drive-by shooting along Camellia Lane. Authorities previously said the suspect and victim knew each other.
