COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) - Police in a Georgia city are trying to figure out who shot a man who crashed his car into a home before dying.
Columbus police tell local news outlets that it appears 20-year-old Quincy Atkins was fleeing whoever shot him when he crashed into a fence and house on Saturday evening.
Atkins died minutes later from multiple gunshot wounds after being taken to a Columbus hospital, said Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan.
Police say they believe Atkins was shot a block away while driving the Dodge Charger that later crashed. Investigators say they have no suspects and haven’t made any arrests, asking people for information.
The crash caused heavy damage to a fence, but only minor damage to the house, investigators said.
Atkins is Columbus’ 14th homicide so far this year.
