DeKalb county police say a man was shot in between the apartment complex units with the bullet hitting the victim in the head. The shooter got away.
A witness, who did not want his face shown, said he heard multiple rounds go off.

Crystal Breaux lives in the complex with her children. She told Pozen that there are a lot of children who live in the complex.
“I always have my son outside playing; I sit outside my car while they are playing because you never know. Something like this is always happening, so I sit outside with them,” Breaux said.
Police have not released the name of the victim or a description of the shooter.
