DeKalb County Police are investigating a Sunday night murder in Stone Mountain.

Police received the call at 11:30 p.m. and responded to the Hampton Village Apartments in the 1900 block of Tree Mountain Parkway. A black male victim in his 20s was found in the breezeway of the apartment building, dead from an apparent gunshot wound, said DeKalb police spokeswoman Mekka Parish.

A possible suspect is in police custody, she said.

Neither the suspect or victim’s names have been released.
