(Snellville, Ga., July 11, 2024) – Gwinnett County Police detectives are investigating a domestic related homicide.

At approximately 9:40 p.m. officers from the South precinct responded to a person shot call on the 3500 block of Glen Summit Lane in Snellville.  A friend of the female victim had not heard from her and contacted someone with a key to the residence to check on her.  The key holder showed up at the house and located the female deceased. 

When officers arrived they located an adult female deceased inside the residence and an adult male alive but suffering from a gunshot wound.  The male was transported to a local hospital.  The male’s injury is being investigated as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.  During a preliminary investigation it is believed that the parties involved lived together at that residence and the incident is domestic related.  Detectives are not looking for any additional suspects.  The Medical Examiner is enroute to determine the cause of death of the female victim.
