Atlanta Police have released 911 calls after a beloved employee was shot at Barcelona Wine Bar on Howell Mill Road Saturday, November 18.

You can hear the frantic caller say "somebody's been shot!"

The caller is heard yelling, "Hey, I need help! She's struggling right now, what do I do?"

Another 911 call from the security guard working the night of the shooting revealed the shooters ran out of the restaurant and across the street,

"It looked like they just robbed the place? I'm looking at them. They're running across the street now. Hold on. I'm trying. There's 3 dudes they just jumped in this white...I'm fixing to tell you. Look like they just jumped in a white...Oh, they just robbed the dude. They just robbed the Lyft driver. They're in a white car."

The security guard went on to say, "And I see the Lyft driver parked on the street. He was jumped...it was a white guy. He jumped out the car and had his hands up and they just jumped in the car and lef him. Boy. Boy. Boy. Boy. What a night."

The guard is then heard telling the operator, "Ma'am. Can you get the ambulance out here. The dude said one of the manager's at the bar is hurt. She's bleeding."

The victim has been identified as 29-year-old Chelsea Beller, who succumbed to her injuries. Friends described her as "fierce" and said she was a lover and a giver.

911 calls from an Uber driver going to the restaurant the evening of the shooting shared details of what they saw when they arrived,

"But I couldn't see the number because, like, I got scared and two guys just got in yelling, get down and they were pointing something. I really didn't see if they were guns or what, or what it was but everybody started yelling and I just had to get out of there."

The driver also provided a description of the assailants,

"There was no vehicle in the parking lot, I just saw that, like, I was on the phone with the lady, I can give you her phone number, I was talking to her, she was telling me go to the last part of the parking lot and when I got there, I just heard them yelling, get down. And, she was like okay, okay, and I guess she put her phone on her hoodie or something because I couldn't’t hear anything else."
