CLARKSTON, Ga. — A man was killed at an apartment at the 1500 Oak Apartments on Post Oak Drive late Saturday afternoon in what police said may have been a drug-related dispute.

When the man and a female got to the complex, the man got out of their vehicle and knocked on the door of an apartment, according to Clarkston Police Chief Christine Hudson.

Hudson said the man and someone inside the apartment got into a verbal dispute.

She says the man left the apartment and walked down the stairs, followed by someone from inside the apartment, who shot him.

The female in the car saw the man had been hurt and called 911. The man was taken to a hospital where he died.

Hudson says that while there have been no arrests so far, police have identified a person of interest in the case.

The dispute, police said, may have been drug-related. No names in the case have been released as of yet.
