ATLANTA — Atlanta's I-20 eastbound has reopened at the junction with I-75/I-85 in downtown Atlanta after a police investigation of a deadly early-morning shooting. The incident was reported around 5:20 this morning when officers were called to the area and discovered a man shot dead inside a wrecked vehicle, Atlanta Police spokesman Officer Steve Avery said. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and WSB Radio report that the back-up, which started just before the height of rush-hour traffic and closed all eastbound lanes on I-20, ended around 8:45 a.m. More than 3 hours later, shooting investigation wrapped up, and lanes are finally opening up along I-20/eb over the Downtown Connector. #ATLtraffic https://t.co/wrrqZr858z— Ashley Frasca (@AshleyFrascaWSB) February 25, 2021 RED ALERT: Deadly shooting shuts down I-20 at Downtown Connector - https://t.co/WiSDQ3r7s2 #Atlanta #Atlanta #ATLtraffic pic.twitter.com/bKe1KWGjc0— John Spink (@johnjspink) February 25, 2021 Read more about it AJC.com.
