ATLANTA — Atlanta Police are searching for a shooting suspect they believe escaped on a scooter on Saturday afternoon.
Atlanta Police Officer C.J. Johnson said that authorities were called to 2456 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive just before 3 p.m. to reports a person had been shot.
Officers arrived to find a male victim with a gunshot wound who was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. His name and age were not released and it's unclear specifically what condition he was in. However, Officer Johnson said he was stable upon being brought to the hospital.
The victim was also able to tell police officers some details and said that the shooting was preceded by an argument between him and the suspect.
Police said the suspect was seen leaving the scene on a blue scooter but didn't have any additional information on the person or the vehicle used in the escape.
Investigators are still working to determine what exactly led up to the argument and shooting while they also work to identify anyone involved. As such the investigation is still ongoing.
