Man shot, killed at troubled Camelot Condos in South Fulton

Deadly shooting at troubled condo complex

A man was shot and killed over the weekend at a troubled South Fulton condo complex just one month after police increased patrols in the area.

SOUTH FULTON, Ga. - A man was shot and killed at the troubled Camelot Condominiums on Old National Highway in South Fulton on Saturday night.

What we know:

Just after 7 p.m., police say they were called to investigate a shooting in the rain.

A male victim was found with a gunshot wound. He died at the scene.

There have been no arrests made yet.

The victim will not be identified until his family has been notified.

What we don't know:

It's not clear what led to the shooting. Police are still investigating this case.

What they're saying:

South Fulton city leaders say something needs to be done about the violence at the Camelot Condominiums.

"We got to do something about Camelot, period! Madame City Manager I know you’re working on a plan and I believe in you," South Fulton Mayor Khalid Kamau said during the farewell address he gave on May 1.

Dig deeper:

This is not the first incident reported at the troubled condo complex. There have been numerous shootings and fires reported at the property over the years.

Those living at Camelot Condominiums, like Antoine, who only wanted to use his first name, told FOX 5 that they're not surprised to see violence like this at their complex.

"Yeah, it's pretty wild. I mean, we live here, so you kind of hear things that go around the neighborhood, and you tend to stay away from the details of it if it doesn't have anything to do with you," he said. 

FOX 5 reached out to Mayor Kamau and several city councilmembers on Sunday to ask about the persistent problems there and what they're doing to address them. Most did not respond, likely due to the Mother's Day weekend.

Councilmember Helen Willis did respond but deferred to South Fulton Police for comment.

A spokesperson for the police department said in a statement they’re continuing "efforts to reduce crime in the Camelot area through targeted patrols and ongoing collaboration with community partners."

They did not elaborate on what that collaboration actually looks like.
