A triple shooting in Atlanta has resulted in the death of two young teens, and a $50,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrator.
In Atlanta's Oakland City neighborhood, two 13-year-olds, Lamon Freeman and Ja'Kody Davis, tragically lost their lives.
A $50,000 reward is being offered by Atlanta authorities for any information that leads to an arrest in connection with a triple shooting on Tuesday that resulted in the death of two 13-year-old boys and the injury of an 11-year-old.
On Tuesday, two teenagers, Lamon Freeman and Ja'Kody Davis, were fatally shot by bullets in Oakland City, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.
Dontavious Davis, the 11-year-old boy who was shot, is Ja'Kody's younger brother and is in stable condition at the hospital, according to Atlanta police.
On Tuesday at 12:36 a.m., Atlanta police officers responded to an apartment complex at 1043 Sparks Street SW due to reports of juveniles being shot. Upon arrival, three young boys were discovered with gunshot wounds.
At the scene, Grady EMS declared one of the 13-year-old boys dead, while the other 13-year-old later passed away at the hospital.
Lt. Andrew Smith, Homicide Unit Commander, informed reporters at the scene on Tuesday morning that the shooting occurred in a stairwell outside individual residences, not inside an apartment.
No motive or details have been disclosed by the police regarding the shooting.
A $50,000 reward is being offered by Crime Stoppers of Greater Atlanta and Atlanta police's Homicide Unit for information leading to an arrest in the triple shooting, but no suspects are currently in custody.
