Carrollton Woman Passes After 6th Street Shooting Leaves Two Others Injured
Carrollton, Georgia — The early morning quiet of Sunday was shattered by chaos on 6th Street, where a fight turned deadly, leaving one woman passed and two others injured. The Carrollton Police Department has confirmed that 26-year-old Lareon Brown, a resident of Carrollton, passed away at the scene after what investigators are describing as a violent confrontation that escalated into gunfire.
The call to dispatch came in around 1:30 a.m., reporting a disturbance near 6th Street. By the time officers arrived, the scene was marked by confusion, fear, and tragedy. Brown, described by friends as a warm-hearted and determined young woman, lay lifeless while two others were found suffering from gunshot wounds. Emergency personnel quickly transported one of the injured victims to an Atlanta-area hospital via ambulance, while another was rushed there in a private vehicle by bystanders desperate to get help.
Authorities have not yet released the names or current conditions of the two surviving victims. The police report indicates that both were struck by gunfire during the same altercation that claimed Brown’s life. Their conditions remain unknown as of now, though investigators have stated that both are receiving medical care and that their families have been notified.
According to initial accounts, the violence began with an argument among several individuals gathered on the street. Witnesses told officers they heard shouting before multiple gunshots rang out, sending people running in all directions. What started as a heated exchange quickly spiraled out of control, leaving a community stunned and mourning yet another life lost to senseless violence.
Investigators have not yet disclosed whether a single shooter was involved or if multiple firearms were used in the incident. No arrests have been made, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward. Detectives are reviewing surveillance footage from nearby homes and businesses in hopes of identifying the person or people responsible.
Carrollton Police Captain Shawn Reeves stated, “This was not a random act. We believe the individuals involved knew each other, and this began as a dispute that tragically escalated.” Reeves emphasized the importance of public cooperation, noting that even the smallest detail could help bring justice for Brown and the other victims.
As the investigation continues, the loss of Lareon Brown has left a deep scar in the Carrollton community. Friends describe her as “the kind of person who always looked out for others,” someone who “didn’t deserve to leave this world like that.” Family members gathered near the site on Sunday evening, lighting candles and placing flowers to honor her memory.
Local leaders have expressed frustration over the growing number of violent incidents stemming from personal conflicts. “We are heartbroken and tired,” said one community advocate. “Another young woman is gone, and her family is left to pick up the pieces.”
For now, Carrollton police continue to search for answers, the gunman remains unidentified, and a family grieves a daughter whose life ended far too soon.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Carrollton Police Department at (770) 834-4451.
