Police wrote on Monday that Mason Sheets, 17, was found on Sunday night with gunshot wounds in a vehicle near South Business 54 and Commons Drive. Sheets died from his injuries at the scene, police wrote. A girl at the scene was taken into custody, police said on Monday.

A description of the vehicle was not given to ABC 17 News. Fulton police have followed up on more than 80 leads in the case, Ladwig said.
