The investigation began after police were dispatched to WellStar West Georgia after an 18-year-old man showed up with a gunshot wound around 7:30 P.M. on May 27, 2025.
The 18-year-old victim told police he had been attending a graduation party at an unidentified residence on Ware Street when a verbal altercation broke out among several attendees.
