Woman shot outside GSU dies from injuries, police say

Police are still searching for persons of interest in the shooting.

ATLANTA — A woman who was critically injured in a shooting near Georgia State University's campus last week has died, according to Atlanta Police.

Officers previously released images of three persons of interest in the shooting that happened near GSU's campus in Downtown Atlanta, which left four people wounded-- two of them were students.

In the aftermath of the shooting, students have taken extra precautions and sought reassurance from campus authorities.

"I always pull out my exit points in case something pops off, and I never really go out at night by myself," student Mehki Lawrence said just days after the shooting.

According to police, the shooting stemmed from a dispute between two groups and escalated into an exchange of gunfire. 

Police said the two students and one of the other victims -- one man and two women -- were stable after taking themselves to the hospital. But police said the fourth victim, a woman, was transported in critical condition. They specified on Monday that she is the one who has died. She has been identified as 19-year-old De'Asia Hart.

The gunfire comes roughly six months after a shooting in April in which another student was shot. A similar incident happened last December, resulting in a fatality. All the incidents happened at or near that RaceTrac gas station.

Atlanta police are urging people who might know who the possible suspects are to contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta 404-577-8477. Tipsters can remain anonymous and possibly qualify for a reward of up to $2,000.
