Police searching for gunman in deadly Decatur shooting

DECATUR, Ga. (FOX 5 Atlanta) - DeKalb County police are trying to track down the gunman who killed a man in a late-night shooting.

Witnesses said they heard shots fired on the 2800 block of Belvedere Lane, just off Memorial Drive, after 10 p.m. Tuesday. 

"I heard maybe three to five gunshots, rolled my window down, heard a lot of screaming," witness Shayne Adams said. "The shots took place in here, and then lots of people running around and then a car left."

Police say it's too early to know if a yellowish-green Kia Soul seen fleeing the area is connected to the crime, or maybe was just trying to get away from the gunfire.

When officers got to the scene, they found a man, who appeared to be in his early 30's, dead. Detectives have not released his name, but several distraught people were mourning at the scene. 

According to police, the victim appeared to get into a dispute with another person, who then pulled a gun and shot him. Investigators aren't sure what set off the argument that led to the gunfire.   

They said it's possible the victim knew his killer but stress it's still early in the investigation.
