According to the police report, an officer responded to a call about shots fired at the Intercontinental Buckhead Hotel on December 1. The officer found a 24-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the head, CBS46 said.
The victim was able to respond somewhat to questions and was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, where his last known condition was critical.
The officer said that Ann Marie was screaming hysterically and had to be removed from the hotel room. She allegedly told an officer that “a gun fell off of a table in the hotel room which caused the gun to go off hitting the victim.”
The report also said that Ann Marie repeatedly asked officers about the victim’s condition and reportedly said she and the victim grew up together in Chicago and were visiting Atlanta. No further details were made available.
Ann Marie is best known for her 2018 single “Secret,” which reached No. 22 on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart.
