A teenager was found shot to death Friday inside a vacant home not far from his own in Clayton County.
A 911 call came in at about 11:10 a.m. regarding gunfire and a person running away from the 11000 block of McDonough Court, according to Clayton police. Officers began their investigation by speaking to neighbors and then noticed an open door to a vacant home.
Jordin Robinson was found inside the home with multiple gunshot wounds, police said. The 17-year-old was taken to a hospital, where police said he later died from his injuries.
No information was provided about a suspect, but police confirmed no one was in custody as of Tuesday afternoon. Authorities have not said why the teen was inside the home. The neighborhood is directly across from Lovejoy High School and Lovejoy Regional Park.
The victim’s family told Channel 2 Action News that Robinson was always smiling and wanted to eventually become a real estate agent. They said he was killed not far from his home.
The teen’s parents didn’t hear gunshots, and only came outside when they noticed police and paramedics in the area, the news station reported.
“They saw them loading his body into the ambulance,” Robinson’s aunt, Keshunda Millbrook, said. “Didn’t know it was Jordin.”
