CARROLLTON, Ga. — Carrollton police say a confrontation between at least two men led to a shooting that resulted in death near the University of West Georgia on Sunday night.

Carrollton police say that at around 10:20 p.m., officers responded to a shots fired call at the Reserve, an off-campus student housing complex at 920 Lovvorn Road.

Officers found a man in the parking lot with a gunshot wound.

The man was taken to nearby Tanner Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

A CPD release says officers attempted to stop a potential suspect vehicle, but that vehicle fled, and a chase ensued. The suspect fled on foot near the area of Tanner Medical Center, after police had conducted a PIT maneuver.

Around 5 a.m., a clerk from Quality Inn called police stating that the suspect had walked into the lobby asking for help, according to Carrollton Police Capt. Shannon Cantrell.

“We found the suspect on scene, and he had a gunshot wound to the leg,” Cantrell said.

Cantrell confirmed that the suspect is 20-years old and from Marietta, and that the victim is a 32-year-old from Snellville.
