Atlanta police respond to shootings at separate apartment complexes

In both situations, it started with an argument or altercation that led to deadly gunfire.

ATLANTA - Police are investigating a deadly shooting at a Downtown Atlanta apartment.

Police went to Sunset Avenue where a man was shot at around 10 p.m. on April 30. 

"There was an escalating argument involving acquaintance, individuals inside one of the unit apartments," Homicide Investigators Ralph Woolfolk said. "At some point in time, an individual brandished a weapon and subsequently fired upon that individual."

Police said the victim was a 21-year-old man. 

Investigators have an idea who the shooter was.

"The individual did leave the apartment complex. He left his vehicle on scene and fled the incident location," Woolfolk said.
