Deputies investigating after teen, 20-year-old found shot inside Carroll County gated community

A Georgia sheriff’s office is investigating after two people, including a teenager, were found shot in a gated community.

As Memorial Day was wrapping up, Carroll County deputies received a call around 11:50 p.m. in reference to a shooting.

Investigators say the shooting allegedly happened inside the Fairfield Plantation development, along Northgate Drive, in Villa Rica.

When deputies arrived they reportedly found a 16-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds.

The teenage girl was taken to an Atlanta hospital for medical treatment, while deputies said the man refused medical treatment at the scene.

“According to preliminary reports, a group of young adults/teens were hanging out when shots rang out from two possible individuals,” a statement from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office said. “Investigators have worked through the night and are continuing to interview and gather evidence that could assist in positively identifying the suspects.”

Authorities added they are aware that the Fairfield Plantation development is a “gated community with limited access.”

The community is working closely with the sheriff’s office in their ongoing investigation.

Anyone with information, or anyone who saw anything suspicious between 11 p.m. and 12 a.m. around Fairfield Plantation on May 29, is asked to call 911 or contact Inv. Shane North at 678-633-4268, 770-830-5916, or via email.

Deputies encourage anyone with a ring camera or outdoor security camera footage that may have captured the incident to send in the videos.
