GBI investigates officer-involved shooting in Chamblee after man fires at officer at Motel 6
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said on November 14 that, at the request of the Chamblee Police Department, its agents are investigating an officer-involved shooting in Chamblee. Jorge Alberto Hernandez Mata, age 27, of Honduras, was shot and injured in the incident. No officers were injured. Mata received medical assistance at the scene and was transported to a local hospital, where he remains in stable condition.
Preliminary information indicates that at about 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 14, a Chamblee officer responded to the Motel 6 located at 2820 Chamblee-Tucker Road in Chamblee in relation to a complaint of a man with a gun in the lobby. The officer then spoke with Mata at a distance near his room, where the door was open. Mata shot at the officer, and the officer returned fire, hitting Mata once. Mata ran away, prompting a foot pursuit, and was taken into custody in the area of an access road near the motel.
The GBI said it will conduct an independent investigation, and once complete, the case file will be given to the DeKalb Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office for review. Anyone with information can call the GBI Atlanta Regional Investigative Office in Conyers at 770-388-5019.
