Update #1, 08/30/2018 (5:25pm) In reference to the homicide that occurred this morning at 3550 Grand Manor Trail in Snellville our investigation has led us to believe this was a home invasion.  The suspect made entry into the residence by prying the screen off of an open window.  At this time, detectives are looking into any and all calls in the area of this crime to see if there are any similarities or useful information that could be related.  I can also confirm that on July 28 there was a home invasion that occurred in the same neighborhood that had similar characteristics.  Out of an abundance of caution, we are reminding citizens to fully secure their homes by locking all doors and windows.  If anyone has seen or heard of any incidents they think may be related or has any information in this case, they are encouraged to call Gwinnett Police detectives at 770-513-5300.  Also, if anyone sees any suspicious persons or activity in the area, please call 9-1-1.
