21-year-old woman shot and killed with toddler in the car in northwest Atlanta, police say

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - A 21-year-old woman was shot and killed Saturday morning in northwest Atlanta, according to police.

Near 2 a.m., police were called to the 1400 block of Hollywood Road, where they found the woman with a gunshot wound inside a car. She died at the scene.

Two people were in the car with the woman — the driver, who called 911, and the woman’s 2-year-old child, police said.

While investigating, police learned that the shooting happened around the corner on Center Street near an apartment complex. Surveillance video shows three men open fire on the car, according to Homicide Commander Lt. Andrew Smith.

Smith said the shooting appears to be targeted. Police are asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 404-577-8477 (TIPS).

A woman who lives nearby said she is tired of the crime in the area.

“I’m just coming home from work. I’m tired of this. This is nerve-wracking,” the woman, who did not want to be identified out of fear of retaliation, said. “At what point is anybody gonna take attention to the fact that this is a property with how many children?”
