Campbellton Road homicide investigation
What we know:
Officers responded to an apartment complex on Campbellton Road in southwest Atlanta in December 2022 after receiving reports of a shooting. Officers found 19-year-old Malang Touray, who had been shot multiple times. Medics rushed the Georgia State University freshman to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries two days later.
Investigators determined that an altercation took place before the shooting, during which Touray was assaulted before the argument escalated into gunfire. Although police recovered surveillance video from the scene, investigators stated that the footage had not helped them identify a suspect.
