Athens police have released the name of the man fatally shot at an Athens home early Sunday morning.

Christopher Demond Carter, 29, of Hammond Road, Harvest, was shot amid a domestic dispute that left two injured and one dead.

Athens Police Chief Floyd Johnson said the police department received a call at 3:49 a.m. Sunday of a shooting in the 2400 block McClung Lane.

“When officers arrived they found one male, who had been shot, lying on the street. He was dead,” Johnson said.

Officers also located one female on the porch of a residence that had been shot in her leg, Johnson said. Another male was also on the porch and had been shot in the arm. The male and female on the porch were transported by ambulance to Athens-Limestone Hospital where they were treated and later released, Johnson said.

Johnson said investigation into the case is ongoing.

“At this time it appears this was a domestic incident,” he said. “We’re being told an ex-boyfriend of the female came to the residence on McClung Lane and confronted her about her current boyfriend. After an argument a gun was pulled and shots were fired by the ex- boyfriend. The new boyfriend ran back in his house got his pistol and shot the ex-boyfriend. Neither the deceased nor the female lived at the residence.”

No one has been arrested in this case, Johnson said.

On Monday morning, Johnson said, “I met with our investigators this morning and we went over evidence collected and statements taken in the case. Our investigation will be continuing for several weeks to come. We have evidence that will have to be sent for examination and analysis. When this case is completed, our department will give a copy to the District Attorney’s Office. The DA can then make the decision to present the case to a future grand jury to determine if criminal charges will be brought in this case.”
