Two people were killed and a third person was critically injured in a shooting Monday morning at an apartment complex in south Cobb County.
The sole survivor, a 36-year-old woman from Austell, was in critical condition after the shooting but is expected to survive her injuries. She called police about 4:20 a.m. to report gunfire at the Premier Apartments off Riverside Parkway and Factory Shoals Road, according to Cobb police spokeswoman Shenise Barner.
Investigators believe the woman was the only witness to the shooting, which happened inside an apartment. The other two victims, 27-year-old Jeremy Davis of Carrollton and 24-year-old Lena Wolfe of Austell, were pronounced dead at the scene, Barner said.
“They don’t know any motive,” Barner told reporters from the scene Monday morning. “They have no suspects at this time.”
As of Tuesday afternoon, Barner said detectives still had no leads.
Police blocked part of the gated complex with crime scene tape as they investigated. Investigators didn’t know if they were looking for a gunman, but they were hoping to find additional witnesses and surveillance footage that could shed some light.

A day after the shooting, Wolfe’s friends and family gathered to collect diapers, clothes and food for her three children, Channel 2 Action News reported. Her youngest is just 5 months old.
“She had a big heart. And now I got to figure out how to tell these kids. I haven’t even told them that their mom is gone,” Wolfe’s fiancé, Wendell Evans, told the news station.
Monica Delancey told Channel 2 that Wolfe was loved by her neighbors.
“This was a lady that cared about her community, cared about her kids,” she said.
