According to investigators, a man came out of a soon-to-open Kings and Queens Lounge and noticed three men trying to get into his red Cadillac SUV, which was parked under the Downtown Connector overpass.
"The owner of the vehicle confronted the males and an exchange of gunfire happened," Atlanta Police Department Homicide Commander Lt. Andrew Smith said.
Police say the owner of the vehicle and the three men were all shot in the gunfight.
One of the men died at the scene. Paramedics rushed the survivors down the street to Grady Memorial Hospital. They are all expected to survive their injuries.
Detectives say they know the SUV owner was armed but are working to determine how many of the alleged car thieves fired shots.
"We are reviewing video footage. We're not exactly sure who had a gun," Smith said.
Officials have not released the names of anyone involved or what charges any of the survivors may face.
If you have any information about that shooting, call the Atlanta Police Department.
I have long said that “At Fillmore East” is the greatest live rock album of all time!
Auburn Avenue? Mogadishu on the Chattahoochee.
So you’re saying it’s not “Sweet Auburn” anymore?!

You would be correct!
I won’t argue with you on that one.
Was this near the Cheetah III?
So they can be charged with felony murder, I hope.
On Auburn Ave., no, you don’t.
LOL! Go down there and get out and walk around. 😏
I could say I was beverage manager there for 10 months, but that might reveal too much of my true identity.
Sorry, 8th St. Been 30 years.
Hard pass!
Don’t even want to be on 75 ITP!
Very happy here in Beautiful Bartow.
There is nothing that could compel me to go to downtown Atlanta. 😏
