Man shot to death at Buckhead gas station
Atlanta police are investigating a deadly shooting at a Buckhead gas station Thursday.
Officers were called to a Chevron at Piedmont Road and Morosgo Drive around 2:15 a.m. There, they found an unresponsive man who had been shot.
Investigators believe the man had been in a “dispute” with a security guard, which is what led to the shooting. Police did not specify who fired the shots or if anyone would face charges.
Crime scene investigators were still processing the scene at 5 a.m. A tarp was erected in front of the convenience store as Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office investigators documented the injuries to the victim. The scene was cleared by 6 a.m.
A witness at the scene told Channel 2 Action News that several shots were fired.
“I heard it,” Reggie Prudent told the news station. “I’m like, ‘Dang, that was a lot of shots!’ Like, at least six shots. At least. I’m like, ‘Woah, who is shooting that much? If they’re shooting, it’s probably in the air. Let me — bullets don’t have eyes, so let me get away from here.’”
