Gwinnett County police have released the identity of a man who was shot and killed Monday night while sitting in his driveway.
Marcus Gilead, 28, was found shot at least once and sitting in a vehicle in the driveway of a home on Wrenwood Court outside Loganville, Gwinnett police spokesman Cpl. Collin Flynn said in a news release.
Gilead was taken to a hospital and later died. The investigation has been classified as a homicide.
“The preliminary investigation indicates that this victim was sitting in a vehicle in his driveway when he was approached by the suspect,” Flynn said. “At this time, this incident appears robbery related.”
Neighbors called 911 after hearing gunshots about 8:15 p.m.
“I heard about four shots,” neighbor Otis Pollard told Channel 2 Action News. “It was pretty loud. At first I thought it was just firecrackers, somebody was just acting silly outside. But then there was a little bit of a ruckus down the street.”
Police have not said if they have identified a suspect in Gilead’s death.
