ATLANTA — A man was found shot to death on Thursday night off MLK Jr. Dr. in Atlanta, not far from where a person was shot and killed early in the morning that day.
Police said they responded at about 7 p.m. to a location on Larchwood Rd., about a block away from MLK Jr. Dr. in west Atlanta and less than a mile from the site of a homicide early Thursday morning.
There was no indication the two shootings were related, however.
According to the Atlanta Police Department, officers discovered a man "with multiple gunshot wounds" who was not conscious or breathing. Grady EMS declared him deceased on scene when they arrived.
"Preliminary Investigation indicates there was a dispute that ensued at the location that escalated to gunfire," a police statement said.
