ATLANTA — Officers are investigating after a man was shot and killed Thursday night near a southwest Atlanta MARTA station. Atlanta Police Department investigators said they were called to Peachtree Street, near the Garnett Station MARTA stop before 11:30 p.m. in Castleberry Hill.
Police said it started with fight in front of the station and spilled onto the street. The suspect at that point allegedly pulled out a gun and fired several times at the victim.
The man was taken to a hospital but later died of his injuries, police said. The suspect remains on the loose. No information was yet available about the identity of the victim.
In a statement, MARTA said its police department routinely partners with APD to provide additional officer visibility and security to the MARTA system and surrounding communities. They added that since 2020, there have been four homicides on MARTA properties within the City of Atlanta; they have made arrests in all of those cases.
