SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — Police are investigating a homicide at a troubled South Fulton condo complex Tuesday afternoon.
It happened at the Camelot Condominiums just off Old National Highway, which has a history of violence.
In an update, South Fulton Police said its preliminary investigation revealed the shooting stemmed from a domestic violence altercation between a woman and a man. Authorities said the woman shot and killed the man in self-defense.
Police said its investigation remains ongoing. The victim has not yet been identified and the woman, who was initially detained as a person of interest, has been released from custody, according to the police department.
11Alive previously reported that South Fulton Mayor Khalid Kamau, who has been under fire after a recent arrest, moved into the complex to address the crime in the area when he first took office last year.
Kamau moved into the Camelot Condominiums before he made any decisions on the complex's fate on whether to demolish the building.
“It’s one of the most troubled communities, most blighted, crime-ridden communities in our city," Kamau previously said.
Most recently, in January, a teen was shot in the head while taking out the trash. Police never found who pulled the trigger.
