(Duluth, Georgia)  The Gwinnett County Police Department Homicide Unit is currently investigating the death of a Hispanic male at the InTown Suites on Steve Reynolds Boulevard.

At approximately 9:15 PM, officers assigned to the Central Precinct were dispatched to a “person shot” call at 3720 Steve Reynolds Boulevard in unincorporated Duluth.  When officers arrived, they located a man deceased inside a room on the 3^rd floor of the building. 

Witnesses heard the gunshots and began to render aid to the victim following the shooting.  Prior to police arrival, four individuals were seen running out of the building.  A Hispanic man and woman were seen carrying armfuls of personal belongings accompanied by two young children.  In the surveillance video, at least one child appeared to be nude.  The suspects were last seen walking down Club Drive towards Pleasant Hill Road.

The GCPD K9 Unit responded to the scene and quickly began searching the surrounding area for the suspects or evidence. 

At this time, the lead detective assigned to the case has information on the person the room was registered to.  We are urging the suspects to come forward and speak with detectives about the case. 

The Crime Scene Unit will process the scene once the search warrant is obtained. Information on the victim will be withheld until the next-of-kin can be notified.
