ATLANTA — A man died after being shot at a convenience store Tuesday evening, according to the Atlanta Police Department.
Authorities responded shortly before 7:30 p.m. to 1341 Metropolitan Pkwy, which is the address for the Metro Quik Mart. The location is near the Metropolitan Library.
Atlanta Police said when officers arrived, they found the 51-year-old man shot. He was taken to the hospital and died due to his injuries.
"It seems to be an escalated dispute between two individuals," APD Homicide Commander Germain Dearlove said. "It doesn't seem it was a random event. We believe that they are acquaintances of each other."
Investigators with APD's homicide unit are still working to determine what led up to the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 404-577-TIPS.
