A man was found beaten to death in downtown Atlanta early Tuesday, according to police.

Officers got the call about a person down around 6 a.m. at the intersection of Peters Street and Ted Turner Drive. When they arrived, they found a man already dead, Atlanta police homicide commander Lt. Andrew Smith said.

The victim was identified by police as Jeylani Mohamed, 41.

Surveillance video captured him fighting with someone, “which led to his death,” Smith said.

The incident happened on steps that connect the Peters Street and Ted Turner Drive sidewalks, which are on a downward slope coming off of a railroad overpass.
