A 19-year-old man was killed in what investigators believe was a targeted shooting early Wednesday in northwest Atlanta.

Atlanta police were called to an apartment on Griffin Street in the Vine City neighborhood shortly after 12:30 a.m. They found the victim, later identified as Jaylin Madrie, dead at the scene, according to a news release.

Investigators at the scene told Channel 2 Action News multiple rounds were fired, which suggests Madrie was targeted. They are still working to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
