A Georgia college student is dead after being shot in the head inside an off-campus apartment complex in what police are calling a “targeted attack.” 

The Fulton County Medical Examiner has identified the victim as 23-year-old Georgia Institute of Technology student Akash Banarjee, FOX 5 reported

The incident occurred over the weekend at The Connector Apartments, a luxury off-campus complex catering to college students. 

The Connector did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

“It’s not a hiccup in the video,” Smith said. “It is him pausing. I don’t know if he heard something or what.” 

Immediately following the shooting, police say the person of interest ducked into a nearby stairwell before leaving the apartment complex.  

Authorities are still combing through digital evidence to determine the relationship between the shooter and victim, with Smith telling reporters the deceased did have a criminal history. 

The victim was transported to a local hospital and later died from his injuries on Tuesday.

Authorities are asking for the public's help in identifying a person of interest after a 23-year-old Georgia Tech student was shot and killed in an off-campus luxury apartment complex.

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of one of our students,” a spokesperson for Georgia Tech said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “This loss is felt across our community, and our hearts go out to the student’s family, friends, and loved ones.” 

The Fulton County Medical Examiner did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

Authorities have not released a name of the person of interest and are asking for the public’s help in identifying the individual, who they say is “not a danger to the public.”
