A driver who was shot in a flurry of bullets struck and killed a woman with his car after accelerating and crashing the vehicle, officials said.
Police arrived on the scene of the crash in southwest Atlanta on Monday morning and discovered 28-year-old Quentavius Monday dead inside a vehicle that was littered with bullet holes, according to officials.
Atlanta officers were called shortly after midnight and located the victim in a black Corvette near Food Mart ZTS along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Police said the man had suffered a gunshot wound while driving the vehicle, but it is not clear how he died.
Authorities identified the woman killed as 40-year-old Shunta Robbins.
While the Corvette had been removed from the scene later Monday morning, a red Ford Fusion covered in bullet holes with broken glass remained there and appeared to be part of the same investigation.

Video footage obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution from the food mart’s security cameras showed the Fusion hit by bullets and the Corvette speeding down the street and crashing into a bus shelter. Two people waiting at the bus station took off running as pieces of the shelter went flying, the video showed.
Police had largely cleared the scene by about 6 a.m., but investigators returned to the area roughly two hours later.
“As the investigation developed, investigators confirmed that a second individual had been involved in the incident,” police said in an updated statement Monday afternoon, adding that Robbins’ body was “not near the initial crime scene.”
Officials have not said if any suspects have been identified.
