UPDATE: The shooting victim died after being taken to North Fulton Hospital Monday night.

The man was shot in Stoneridge subdivision early Monday evening, and Alpharetta investigators were searching for a suspect.

The victim was taken to North Fulton Hospital, where investigators had gone to question him about the shooting, said Alpharetta Department of Public Safety spokesman George Gordon.

The Alpharetta Dispatch Center received a call at 6:24 p.m. from a man who said he saw a man shot. Alpharetta police and fire units responded to the call at a townhome on Whitestone Ridge, a street within Stoneridge. They found the victim, who had been shot one time in the lower abdominal area, Gordon said.

Police are conducting a manhunt for a suspect in the shooting. As the manhunt was in progress, Gordon said he could not release any information about the suspect.

"The detectives that are working this scene are working hard to find that shooter and bring him into custody," he said.
