Man shot to death near Atlanta Greyhound station
Atlanta police are investigating a fatal shooting near the downtown Greyhound bus station early Sunday morning.
Local perspective:
The shooting prompted a heavy law enforcement presence for hours, with neighbors waking up to blocked roads while officers took photos.
Nearby residents noted this was the third shooting in the area this year, including a previous incident where four people were hit by bullets.
Rakeem Brown, a neighbor who lives around the corner, said the best response to neighborhood violence is keeping a low profile and staying out of the way.
"I think it has to do with people not minding their business and trying to know everything, run everything, and thinking they are bigger than the next person," Brown explained. "The best thing to do is to stick to yourself and keep a low profile."
