ATLANTA — A man's birthday celebration is now at the center of a homicide investigation after he was shot and killed at his own party.
The incident happened at a short-term rental home located at 1368 Lakewood Avenue SE, which is at the corner of McDonough Boulevard, around 11:45 p.m. on Wednesday.
Investigators are trying to determine what led to the shooting. The 19-year-old victim was transported to the hospital, but later died.
Police do not have person of interest in custody, they said.
11Alive is looking into short-term rental homes and the city's party policies, as both have restrictions on them.
Airbnb in particular put an official ban on parties just a couple of months ago. In a statement to 11Alive, they said while this house was listed on their site, it was not rented through Airbnb on Wednesday night.
The home is also listed on VRBO, Expedia, Travelocity among others.
