The detectives were the rest of the night and part this Monday morning collecting evidence. So far it has not been specified how the shooting unfolded.
Furthermore, police officials reported that no suspects have been detained and no the description of suspected shooter has been offered. The names of the victims have not been released.
“It’s always like that around this place, so we’re not surprised,” said the resident, identified as King Brown, “Maybe if you come during the day it’s a bit safe, but not at night. It’s a dangerous place.”
The Brannon Hill apartment complex also made headlines in January after a fire started in a building that it was partially abandoned.
Another resident said many know the complex is an eyesore and a danger to the people who inhabit it, with many describing it as “the worst community in America.”
DeKalb County has been working for several years to demolish the property, and in January, the county fire department reported that they frequently received fire calls.
