A 25-year-old man was shot to death in front of his children at a southwest Atlanta gas station Wednesday night, according to his family.
The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. at a Chevron in the 2100 block of Campbellton Road, Atlanta police said. The location is near the intersection of Delowe Drive and just outside the Alfred Tup Holmes Golf Course.
When officers arrived, they found the man suffering from several gunshot wounds, police said. He died at the scene.
He was identified as Jotavious Favors, of Decatur, by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Investigators told Channel 2 Action News that the victim was walking out of the store when someone in a vehicle pulled up and shots were fired. Favors was struck in front of his children, his sister told the news station. She asked to remain anonymous.
Atlanta police’s homicide unit identified two persons of interest in the case and said they fled the location in a blue or black Jeep SUV.
A motive is unclear. The investigation is ongoing.
