Three teens were found suffering gunshot wounds inside an apartment complex’s stairwell in Atlanta early Tuesday.
Two 13-year-old olds, identified as Jakody Davis and Lamon Freeman, succumbed to their injuries.
A 12-year-old was taken to the hospital in an unknown condition.
The shooting occurred in Oakland City in southwestern Atlanta at around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.
“At this time, homicide investigators are on scene. We’re combing through video and doing a canvas and speaking to witnesses,” Homicide Unit Commander Lt. Andrew Smith said.
“Initially, it was tragic, but when we have juveniles, it makes it more so.”
Freeman was only days shy from celebrating his birthday, a loved one revealed Tuesday.
“(I’m supposed) to be saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY… but now I’m saying LongLiveLame,” a Facebook post read.
“I love you Lamon…May you rest in peace and tell your dad Bone we love him too. Y’all watch over your mama and the rest of the family.”
