Initial Story

(Snellville, Ga., July 11, 2024) – Gwinnett County Police detectives reported that they are investigating what they believed was a domestic-related homicide that occurred Thursday night on the 3500 block of Glen Summit Lane in Snellville

According to a press release from GCPD, at about 9:40 p.m. on July 11, officers from the South precinct responded to the person shot call after a friend of the female victim had not heard from her and contacted someone with a key to the residence to check on her. The key holder showed up at the house and located the female deceased. 

“When officers arrived they located an adult female deceased inside the residence and an adult male alive but suffering from a gunshot wound. The male was transported to a local hospital.  The male’s injury is being investigated as a self-inflicted gunshot wound. During a preliminary investigation it is believed that the parties involved lived together at that residence and the incident is domestic related.  Detectives are not looking for any additional suspects,” GCPD reported in the press release.

The Medical Examiner was called to determine the cause of death of the female victim.
