The 28-year-old guard was found with at least one gunshot wound when Atlanta police were called to the Encore Hookah Bar on Luckie Street shortly after midnight, according to the police department. He later died at Grady Memorial Hospital. Homicide unit commander Lt. Ralph Woolfolk said the guard was asked to remove the shooter from the bar, and the two got into a fight outside. Investigators don’t know why the man was booted from the bar, Woolfolk told Channel 2 Action News from the scene. The guard’s name was not released. The deadly shooting comes after a violent week in Atlanta that took police to six other bars or nightclubs to investigate gunfire. Two people were killed and eight were injured in the six shootings between Jan. 22 and Jan. 29. The shooter in Wednesday’s incident was gone by the time police arrived, and he has not been identified. Police released photos of a suspect and are asking for the public’s help to identify him. The photos appear to be stills from surveillance footage. Anyone with information about his identity is asked to contact police. Tipsters can remain anonymous, and be eligible for rewards of up to $2,000, by contacting Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477, texting information to 274637 or visiting the Crime Stoppers website.
