A man was shot to death on a busy DeKalb County road early Wednesday.

Officials said the man was driving a Ford F-150 truck on Flat Shoals Road near I-20 around 2:30 a.m. when he was shot. The victim then crashed near the entrance of the Highlands of East Atlanta apartment complex, DeKalb police told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The man’s name has not been released, but police said he was in his 30s.

Investigators believe the victim was shot as he was leaving the complex and that the gunfire came from one of the buildings, according to Channel 2 Action News. One bullet hole could be seen on the truck’s rear driver’s side door, the news station reported.

No information has been released about what led up to the shooting or if police have identified a suspect.
