A Wednesday night shooting in Lawrenceville left two people dead, and investigators are now looking into whether drugs played a role in the deadly incident.
The shooting happened on November 4 along Heather Stone Way in Gwinnett County. Police received a report of a person being shot and arrived at approximately 8:30 p.m.
Officers found two people with apparent gunshot wounds when they reached the scene. Despite the response, both victims were pronounced dead at the location.
The Gwinnett County Police Department has not released their names or ages. Detectives are still investigating the case and working to determine what led to the shooting.
One of the main questions investigators are trying to answer is whether the deaths were connected to drug activity. Police believe that may have been a factor, but they have not confirmed a specific motive or explained what happened in the moments before the gunfire.
A person was taken into custody and is cooperating with detectives. Authorities have not released that person’s identity, and no formal charges have been announced in the information made public so far.
Police believe the people involved knew one another. They have also described the shooting as an isolated incident, adding that there is no known danger to other residents.
Detectives are continuing to gather information and reconstruct the events that led to the two deaths. Anyone who may know something about the shooting is asked to contact Gwinnett County police at 770-513-5300. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
