Music industry veteran Chaka Zulu was shot in Atlanta and is recovering.
Police Lt. Germain Dearlove said the shooting was the “result of a dispute in the parking lot.”
According to the incident report, officers arrived at the scene on 2293 Peachtree Rd around 11:35 pm Sunday night.
The report read, “Upon arrival, officers located three adult males with gunshot wounds. The victims were transported to the hospital where one of them was later pronounced deceased. Homicide investigators responded to the scene to begin investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. This investigation remains active and ongoing at this time.”
Monday afternoon, police identified Zulu, 44, as one of the victims but have yet to announce the name of the shooter or the names of the other two men who were shot.
Atlanta’s former mayor, Kasim Reed, told Channel 2 News, “We are fortunate to report that Chaka Zulu is in stable condition and recovering. The family thanks everyone for their well wishes and prayers, and asks for their privacy at this time.”
