1 dead after shooting at shopping plaza

Police say the shooting happened in front of a "group of people"

ATLANTA — Atlanta Police are investigating a deadly shooting that happened in a shopping plaza on the city's westside. 

APD confirms the shooting took place around 6 a.m. Sunday in front of a restaurant at the Quality Plaza on Joseph E. Boone Boulevard. 

"The wing store stayed open until about 3 o’clock this morning and then the patrons just stood on the front steps and were socializing after the business was closed," Lt. Andrea Webster said.

Investigators believe an argument turned physical and at some point one man was shot. Surveillance video from a nearby business captured the incident.

Police have not released the identity of the suspect but believe the shooter is known within the community. 

So at this time we’re interviewing witnesses and reviewing that surveillance footage," Webster said. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact APD.
