Atlanta police are investigating what transpired between the time a man and a woman left a popular strip club and a shooting that fatally injured the woman less than a mile away.
According to Channel 2 Action News, the couple were leaving the area of Magic City on Forsyth Street after the club closed Tuesday morning. Their vehicle took gunfire shortly after 3:20 a.m. near the intersection of Pryor and Fulton streets, and they stopped for help on the nearby ramp to the Downtown Connector.
The woman, 21-year-old Camryn Price from Lancaster, South Carolina, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in critical condition. She later died from her wounds, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed.
Police found the Cadillac Escalade riddled with bullet holes under the Memorial Drive overpass, Atlanta police Capt. Christian Hunt told Channel 2 from the scene. Its back window was shattered.
“She was the passenger,” Hunt said of Price. “The driver was also injured. He was not shot. We believe it was shrapnel.”
Homicide investigators are working to determine the circumstances around the incident.
It was not clear what prompted the shooting, but another vehicle may have been involved, according to Hunt. No suspect description was available Tuesday morning.
