Interstate shootings are not only hazardous to the occupants of the vehicles directly involved in the incidents themselves, but also to vehicles surrounding them.

Other drivers and passengers may be hit by stray gunfire, or one of the vehicles involved in the incident may strike an additional car, causing a crash.


Since the start of 2021, law enforcement officers have investigated a total of at least seven such incidents in metro Atlanta.

A 33-year-old rapper from Texas was shot and killed early Friday morning along Interstate 85 in Gwinnett County, according to authorities. The rapper was identified by Gwinnett Police as Corey Detiege of Sugar Land, Tex.

Known under the stage name Chucky Trill, Detiege was in metro Atlanta to perform at an event for NBA All-Star Weekend, according to his manager with Boneafide Entertainment.

The incident occurred at about 3 a.m., near Jimmy Carter Boulevard, police said. As a result, multiple lanes were closed during Friday morning's commute.

An unrelated shooting along Interstate 75 in Clayton County early Friday, left a man injured. According to Clayton County police, the victim was struck by someone who fired into the rear window of his truck.

The man was driving on I-75 near the Mount Zion Boulevard exit when the incident occurred, investigators said.

Here's a look at some of the shootings that have happened earlier this year.

Earlier incidents


Jan. 4
The current stretch of shooting incidents began on Jan. 4, when a man was found with a gunshot wound to the head along Interstate 20 near Capitol Avenue.

Jan. 14
Ten days later, on Jan. 14, a man was found shot inside his car near North Druid Hills Road along Interstate 20 north.

The deadly shooting shut down the interstate for hours. Police are still looking for leads in this case.

Feb. 10
On Feb. 10, two people were shot while riding in a car along Interstate 85 southbound in Midtown Atlanta.

Atlanta Police confirmed that the fatal shooting occurred, which kept the interstate closed for an extended period. They found two victims with gunshot wounds. One of the victims was taken to a hospital in stable condition while the second, later identified as Jarmel Jowers, 28, from New York state, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Feb. 11
One day later, on Feb. 11, Atlanta rapper, CyHi The Prynce reported to police that he had been chased and shot at while driving along Interstate 20 west near Hamilton E. Holmes Drive.

Feb. 25
On Feb. 25, a man was shot and killed inside a car on Interstate 20 east at the Downtown Connector in Downtown Atlanta.

According to Gwinnett police, when they arrived at Friday morning's shooting incident, they found the victim inside a stopped car on the freeway.

Investigators said the victim had passengers inside the car at the time of the shooting.

Witnesses said they were not able to describe the suspect's vehicle, authorities said.

The number of shootings has prompted the question: Why?

Following the Feb. 25 incident, Atlanta Police told 11Alive did not believe they are connected.

"It's kind of an anomaly as to what has happened recently on the highway itself, but we do not believe they are related," said Major Eddie Smith with the Atlanta Police Department's Major Crimes Unit.

In Washington, earlier this week, US Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.), recently tapped as chairman of the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, asked FBI Director Christopher Wray about violent crime in Atlanta and across the nation.

"There's been a significant increase in shootings and violent crime nationwide over the last 18 months," Ossoff said. "What does the FBI assess is driving this crime wave?"


Wray replied and said he was following the same trends - with concern to not just Atlanta - but across the country. He attributed the pandemic as a possibility for the spike, challenges of local police departments being understaffed and a variety of other drivers that have contributed to it.

Wray called it a "great concern" and that the agency is keeping an eye on it.

This is just one article but I’ve done a lot of reading on it. The shots are incredibly accurate especially for moving targets and in traffic.

The shootings typically only occur during the hours of 11pm to 5am in the Interstate 20 . I think it’s some deranged CAC with military training doing all of this shyt.

Keep in mind it’s just what I think none of this has been confirmed but the signs are there. They’re trying to blame it on black people aka “violent crime” but this seems to be the work of someone with military training.

Expect more information to come out in the following months.

Stay safe Atlanta brehs

Y’all be safe up there brehs....idk ATL but this might be the time to take the scenic route to work

Yeah breh I heard a story of a breh in a BMW who was driving and he said all of a sudden his legs started to feel weird.

Turns out he had been shot in his back through his car. This was in early morning rush in mild traffic. Only thing he could see was a red car drive past.

This shyt is coordinated breh only during those hours on Interstate 20. That sniper targets black people and black people only. During the hours of 11pm to 5am. They have to have military training to be that precise.

As usual the police and FBI are chalking it up to “violent crime” which doesn’t have shyt to do with this.

 

[Atlanta 80s baby]

You don't think they would figure this out by the caliber of bullet used. Most of this is road rage incidents if not all. The PRE rapper that got hit was likely from Yo Gotti's folks.

Believe what you want, but if I was in Atlanta I’d avoid that interstate from those hours.

This shyt mainly random, not from road rage, from what I’ve seen apart from the rapper.

This is some scary shyt

a well trained cac can sit up on a hill and snipe brehs

Blaming it on black people aka violent crime is just as lazy as blaming it on a cac with "military training."

Do you know or have they released what caliber bullets were used in the shootings? Fmj's? Hollow points? Any casings found? Any evidence of multiple or follow up shots?

This is lazy as well. The sun is down between 11pm and 5am. And most cars have tint and it's even hard to determine race without tint at night. Even police stops of black men drop at night because they can't profile.

They haven’t released that information en masse. Expect more information to come as the weeks go by.

You can disagree, but as you said that’s been the explanation from police thus far and it seems pretty lazy to me.

Also let’s add in plausible deniability. Has there ever been a point in Atlanta history that this many highway shootings have occurred in such a short span of time? In such specific times? Blaming it on crime would be very lazy to me as well.

I honestly feel like the authorities suspect this high highly the case but won’t release the information yet without causing major financial disruption to the city. Especially since it’s recovering from lockdown and involves the major highways.

They could be at the stage of doing more patrols until the numbers increase. Hell the shooter could be a police officer, but that’s just my opinion

But how could a sniper identify a black person speeding down a highway at night

 

[Atlanta 80s baby]

This nikka trying cause mass panic in the city for the benefit of his own entertainment. Don't do that homie. The DC sniper shootings was easy to figure out cause of the trajectory and other fragments among other things left behind, it ain't that hard to figure.

I ask you this... let’s add in plausible deniability. Has there ever been a point in Atlanta history that this many highway shootings have occurred in such a short span of time? In such specific times?

And consider this don’t you think if the authorities suspected this was the case that they would NOT release the information to the public without causing major financial disruption to the city? Especially since it involves the major highways? That could pretty much wreak the economy.

Just food for tonight. I’m just stating my opinion on what I’ve seen thus far.

It wouldn't surprise me and it's something that's been on my mind for years. Timothy McVeigh was inspired by the Turner Diaries written by William Luther Pierce who is something like a godfather to White Nationalism for those not in the know. A lot of people don't know he wrote another book called Hunter which was about a lone wolf shooting IR couples. The author dedicated the book to Joseph Paul Franklin who was convicted of committing multiple racially based lone wolf killings. He wounded Bill Clinton's homie, Vernon Jordan.

It wouldn't surprise me to see more lone wolf types in this political climate. Tom Metzgar encouraged that kind of action as well before dying.
