ATLANTA — The Atlanta Police Department is investigating a road rage shooting in the southeast part of the city that left a 31-year-old woman dead.
Police said it happened Tuesday around 2 a.m. on Browns Mill Road, south of the Brown's Mill Golf Course and east of Interstate 75.
Three cars were involved in the crash and officers said a woman was shot and killed. APD has not provided information on what led to the shooting, how the crash happened, or if anyone has been arrested.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office identified the woman as 31-year-old Desiree George. Police said she was shot multiple times.
Police also confirmed there was a child in the car with the woman. They said the child was not injured in the shooting.
APD said the three cars involved stayed at the scene but also said investigators were still looking for a suspect or suspects.
APD Homicide Commander Germain Dearlove said that the incident happened in a very quiet neighborhood. He added that investigators are trying to speak to neighbors to find out what happened.
"As in any case, a person is not with us right now because of violence, and we’re gonna learn, we’re gonna identify the suspects involved and get them in custody so they’re not a danger to anyone else. No one should die by violence," Dearlove said.
This is the latest shooting in a string of fatal shootings that happened in Atlanta over the Labor Day weekend.
"Yeah, we had several cases," Dearlove said. "But I would like to report that, of these cases, we’re looking very strong with our evidence, and we’re going to identify the suspects involved."
Police said if anyone has information, call Crime Stoppers: 404-577-TIPS(8477).
