Police were called at about 3:41 p.m. to Childtime of Lilburn at 4050 Darling Ct. They found a passenger car in the parking lot and the female driver told them her passenger, Oldham, had been shot.

Detectives say it does not appear the daycare had anything to do with the shooting, but that it was simply where the driver stopped to seek help.

They are also investigating the possibility that the shooting was related to a drug deal, police said in a news release.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact detectives at (770) 513-5300. To remain anonymous, tipsters may contact Crime Stoppers at (404) 577-TIPS (8477) or visit the Crime Stoppers Atlanta website.
