A large portion of the street and surrounding area was blocked off as concerned neighbors stood outside watching as crime scene investigators collected shell casings and other evidence.

Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from an argument between two groups of young people.

Family members and friends of the victims could also be seen, some visibly upset others talking with investigators about what they knew.

Just before 10 p.m., Atlanta Police says officers were conducting a search of a nearby home. Officers had to breach the home to get inside, but say they did not find anyone inside.
