Preliminary Information: On 3/15/23, around 6:00am, officers responded to 3208 MLK JR. Dr in reference to a male shot. Upon arrival, officers located a male victim with a gunshot wound to the knee. He was alert, conscious and breathing and transported to the hospital for treatment. A short time later, officers responded to another call regarding a male shot at 242 Napoleon Dr. Upon arrival, officers located a male with a gunshot wound to the head.

Preliminary investigation indicates the two incidents are related. The victim was working security at the location when a male suspect entered the store and pointed a firearm at him. A struggle ensued resulting in the victim sustaining a gunshot wound to the knee. The victim was able to struggle the firearm away from the suspect and shoot him. The suspect fled the scene and called 911. After thorough investigation, it was determined the suspect who was shot was also the primary aggressor in the incident. He has been arrested and charged while in Grady Detention. Charges and the suspect’s identification are pending at this time as the investigation continues.
