MCDONOUGH, Ga. — A man, who police say robbed his victims at gunpoint, was shot multiple times in a Henry County neighborhood last month.
On Jan. 30, Henry County authorities were called to the Hampton Point Apartments in McDonough.
When officers arrived, they found a man, later identified as 20-year-old Artavious Reed, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
