A man fatally stabbed his father at a DeKalb County apartment complex Thursday before jumping off a balcony and dying from his injuries, police said.
Officers were called to the La Carre Apartments in the 700 block of North Indian Creek Drive, just outside of I-285 and the city of Clarkston, shortly before 5 p.m. A 911 call alerted officials to a possible cardiac arrest at the location, but what officers found was much different, DeKalb police spokesperson Blaine Clark said.
Authorities said Karl St. Hubert, 31, was found lying on the pavement outside with “traumatic injuries” and later died.
Investigators then found the man’s father, Roody St. Hubert, 50, dead inside an apartment, according to Clark. The two were identified by the DeKalb County Medical Examiner’s Office.
“Initial investigation shows the man found outside had stabbed his father and killed him, then he appears to have jumped off the balcony,” Clark said.
The cause of the incident was not disclosed.
