DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A man is dead and a 15-year-old has been hospitalized after being shot in DeKalb County. Police said it's all tied to car break-ins.
It happened around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday when DeKalb County Police Department investigators said the teen and possibly two others were breaking into cars.
The Dekalb County Medical Examiner identified the man as 32-year-old Jamell Moody. Officers say Moody went outside to get something from his car and got into an argument or fight with the group that ended in gunfire.
Both victims were found in different locations, with police first getting word of a person shot on Shepherds Path in Decatur.
When they got there, they found Moody with a gunshot wound. He was taken to the hospital where he later died.
About five minutes later, police got another call about a person shot just down the road off Flat Shoals Parkway near a Waffle House, where they found the 15-year-old shot.
At this time, police are still ironing out the specific details of the shooting.
