An argument over a woman led to a shooting early Monday morning that left a man dead, Atlanta police said.

The suspect went to a home Moore Street, located off Hollywood Road in northwest Atlanta, to see his ex-girlfriend and found her with another man, according to investigators. Police said the two men got into a dispute before shots were fired, and the suspect fled the scene.

Officers arrived at about 12:30 a.m. and found 42-year-old Emanuel Stewart critically wounded. He later died at a hospital, according to a police spokesperson.

No description of the suspect was released.

The shooting remains under investigation. Tipsters can remain anonymous, and be eligible for rewards of up to $2,000, by contacting Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477, texting information to 274637 or visiting the Crime Stoppers website.
