ATLANTA — An altercation between two people led to a deadly stabbing Wednesday afternoon in Midtown, leaving several roads blocked as police investigated the scene.
Atlanta Police said one man is dead and the other person involved is cooperating with police and will likely not be charged. After an investigation and interviews, the homicide unit called this a "Felon Killed by Private Citizen."
It happened along Peachtree Street near 12th Street. That's near a Bank of America, Panera Bread restaurant and several other businesses, residences and offices.
Workers from the Atlanta Department of Watershed tried to render aid to the victim.
When officers arrived, police located an "unresponsive male with multiple lacerations." They said he was transported to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
11Alive SkyTracker saw police tape surrounding the area and blocking Peachtree Street from 12th Street to 13th Street across from the Loews Atlanta Hotel.
Just last month, gunfire erupted after an argument between a chef and a bartender at the RA Sushi Bar in this same area, which left a security guard who stepped in injured.
