While police continue to search for suspects, the names of the victims in a deadly double shooting have been released.
Blake Schulte, 20, of Buford, was found dead about 7 a.m. Tuesday in Hall County, Gwinnett County police spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Pihera said Wednesday. His body was found in a vehicle on a dirt road or path near power lines at Friendship Road and Duncan Ives Drive.
Earlier, a man heard about eight to 10 gunshots about 3 a.m. in the area of Express Lane, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported. His wife called 911.
That’s when police found 16-year-old Alexander Scott of Doraville, just across the line in Gwinnett County. Scott was wounded and taken to Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville for surgery, Pihera said. He was expected to survive, but Pihera did not know his condition Wednesday.
Investigators suspect the shooting happened at a clubhouse at the end of a cul-de-sac, but details about how the men were related were not available Wednesday.
“I have been told that both locations are relatively close to one another, and the crime scene is quite large,” Pihera said.
