A man was shot and killed in Atlanta early Friday after venturing outside to investigate why the power went out inside his home, police say.
The victim, described by Fox5 Atlanta as a man in his mid-30s, was renting the property where the attack occurred.
"At some point the power to that house went out,” Atlanta Police Lt. Pete Malecki told the station. “Two of the residents of that home went outside to investigate and at which point at least one, possibly two suspects had shot our victim."
