DeKalb County police are searching for the person they say shot a woman in the head inside of a car, who later died.
Channel 2′s Veronica Griffin went out to the neighborhood along Wesley Chapel Road on Saturday and spoke to neighbors who said they thought it was a car back-firing, not gunshots.
Cecil Upshaw said the shooting happened just feet from his home and told Griffin that it was all way too close for comfort.
“It’s so close to home. A bullet could have easily come through the house, through this window,” Upshaw said.
DeKalb County police said the victim was a passenger in a car and that they were called to the scene by someone who flagged down a nearby officer to report that someone had been shot.
“Me and sister were inside having dinner. She heard the helicopter flying and the sirens,’’ Upshaw said.
Upshaw said he and his sister stepped out of their home to check things out.
