2 Found Dead In Buford Apartment Monday Afternoon

UPDATE: 2 Dead In Apartment Determined To Be Murder, Suicide: Police

BUFORD, GA -- A man and a woman were found dead in a Buford apartment Monday afternoon. The man apparently died of a gunshot wound; the woman's cause of death is unknown, according to Gwinnett Police. Neither has yet been identified.

Police received a call shortly after 3 p.m. in reference to a welfare check at Preston Hills at Mill Creek Apartments located at 2910 Buford Drive in unincorporated Buford.

Officers arrived within two minutes of the call and learned that the complainant had not had contact with a female family member in two days. This was odd as they have daily contact with each other. An apartment representative was able to allow officers in for a welfare check and they discovered a man and woman inside, who were dead.

The man was killed from an apparent gunshot wound. It is not yet known what led to the woman’s death, police said. Detectives, CSI personnel, and the Medical Examiner’s Office were all contacted and responded to the scene for processing. A motive for these deaths is not known at this time.
