DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A suspect is now in custody after two people were found shot to death in a burned DeKalb County home last week, according to authorities.
DeKalb County medical examiners identified the two victims as 28-year-old Brittany Hall and 35-year-old Derris Woods.
The fire happened on Monday, Sept. 9, just before 1:30 a.m., when authorities reported heavy fire on Cohassett Lane. When they arrived, the building was partially collapsed.
DeKalb County firefighters found two people dead in the burned building. A week later, fire officials said the two victims -- a man and a woman -- died from gunshots before the fire happened.
Police announced on Facebook that a suspect had been arrested in Mississippi. No other details about the suspect were released.
