RaceTrac released a statement Feb. 26 announcing the closure, after multiple shootings occurred on the block. On Feb. 29, the family of a woman shot and killed near the gas station announced a lawsuit against RaceTrac, The Mix apartments and other entities, alleging negligence.
According to the Atlanta Police Department, officers responded to 120 Piedmont Avenue NE in reference to a person shot just before 12:45 p.m. The address is for The Mix, which is listed as student apartments, and adjacent to the RaceTrac gas station where other shooting incidents have occurred over the last year.
The juvenile suspect allegedly fled the scene with Angel Gomez, 20, who had gotten into a physical altercation with the employee before the shooting occurred, police said.
