Another shooting occurred Saturday, March 9, near the Georgia State University campus, according to police.
According to the Atlanta Police Department report, officers responded to 120 Piedmont Ave. just before 10 p.m, where they found a 25-year-old male with a gunshot wound to his buttocks. APD said the victim was not a GSU student. He was transported to the hospital for treatment.
Preliminary investigation indicates that the incident occurred at a separate – and yet to be identified – location and that the victim walked to 120 Piedmont Ave., which is the address for the now shuttered RaceTrac convenience store that had become a flashpoint for other shootings and violence.
On Feb. 25, Javare Shakir-Fulford, 21, was shot to death and died at 120 Piedmont Ave., which prompted the permanent closure of the RaceTrac. APD continues to search for a suspect and witness in the incident.
The family of a 19-year-old killed in a shooting near the RaceTrac last October has filed a lawsuit against the company.
A GSU student was shot and killed in December 2022 in the vicinity of the now-shuttered RaceTrac. In December 2023, a person was shot to death and another wounded after a fight led to gunfire near the RaceTrac.
