A metro Atlanta family is reeling in shock with the news of a second deadly shooting that has ripped their family apart.
On Tuesday night, August 20, Atlanta Police Officers responded to a shooting along Springside Drive, which runs parallel between Cleveland Avenue and Mt. Zion Road.
Officers found 32-year-old Courtney Reese outside on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. APD said despite life-saving measures, Reese died from her injuries.
A 27-second video clip from a Ring camera security system allegedly captured the deadly shooting.
The video is too graphic to show, but what you see is a tall figure who appeared to be dressed in all white, wearing a hooded sweatshirt, walking up to Reese, who is standing outside a home.
You hear Reese in the video saying, “Please. I don’t…” As she’s pleading with the individual, you see the person raise his hands and shoot at point-blank range. The person fired at least 10 shots, even after Reese collapsed, before the person ran out of frame down the driveway.
Atlanta Police Homicide is investigating the deadly shooting, but as of Wednesday afternoon, APD hasn’t updated the case with any details on a possible suspect.
Reese’s family believes the suspect is a man who she was previously involved with and hopes police can catch him before any other innocent victim’s life is taken.
Reese leaves behind four children — three girls who are 13, 9 and 6, and an 11-year-old son.
Her aunt said Reese’s sister was killed in a shooting just months ago in Dekalb County.
