A man found shot to death in the driver's seat of a car on a northwest Atlanta road has been identified as a Fulton County deputy.
Officers were called to the scene around 4:30 a.m. Thursday after reports of shots fired, FOX 5 Atlanta reports. Once on scene, they found a car that had been in a crash with the victim still inside. Officers then blocked off the area to investigate the shooting.
Cameras that quickly made it to the scene were able to see the man's body sitting in the driver's seat of a silver car that was parked on the road.
While investigators have not released the deputy's name, they say that he was a young man who worked at the Fulton County Sheriff's Office.

Officials ask any witnesses to the crash or gunfire come forward by contacting the Atlanta Police Department.
