SNELLVILLE, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Police are investigating a homicide Thursday night that left one man dead in Gwinnett County.

The Gwinnett County Police Department says there are two separate scenes in connection to this investigation. They say the victim, 19-year-old Brian Arnold-Causey, was shot at Lenora Park and then dropped off at Gwinnett County Fire Station 6 off Johnson Road in Snellville.

“The victim was pulled out of the car towards their vicinity, told them that he had been shot, and then left,” said Officer Hideshi Valle.

Police were called to the fire station shortly after 10:30 p.m. for a man suffering from gunshot wounds.

“Medical fire personnel proceeded to attempt to render aid to the victim. He was transported to a local hospital. Unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries,” said Valle.

Investigators say an unknown person dropped Arnold-Causey off at the fire station before taking off without leaving a name or any other information, and now police are looking for this person to learn more about what led up to this deadly shooting.

Police got a ‘shots fired’ call around 10:30 p.m. at Lenora Park, just 4.5 miles from Fire Station 6.

“At this time, we do not know if it was multiple shooters or multiple weapons or what kind of caliber, but we do know there were shell casings located here,” said Hideshi Valle, Public Information Officer for the Gwinnett County Police Department. “We’re trying to gather as much evidence as possible and we’re urging all our citizens or anyone that might have information, ring camera footage, or anything caught on surveillance to please come forward.”
