An 18-year-old was found shot to death in a South Fulton driveway before dawn Tuesday, while a 16-year-old was found badly wounded nearby, police said.
Officers used crime scene tape to cordon off portions of the Legacy at Cascading Creek neighborhood for much of the morning as investigators canvassed the area and collected evidence.
Police got a call around 3:45 a.m. about a person shot along Elkmont Ridge near Apache Street. When they arrived, they found the 18-year-old with a gunshot wound in the driveway of a home. He was already dead.
Moments later, a 16-year-old was found with a gunshot wound in the living room of another home down the road. He was critically injured and rushed to a hospital.
Police have not said if the two teens were injured in the same shooting or if they knew each other.
No further information was released by officials, including the teens’ names.
Anyone with information is asked to contact South Fulton police or Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS.
