Dead man, no witnesses leave DeKalb Police searching for answers

Detectives are still in the early stages of finding out why a man was killed on Wednesday - and who is responsible.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Homicide investigators scoured a DeKalb County neighborhood for clues, witnesses and maybe even a killer after a man was found dead off of Columbia Drive on Wednesday.

DeKalb detectives arrived at the scene late in the evening just south of I-20 to find a man who had been shot multiple times. 

As authorities canvassed the area, they hoped someone could provide context to what happened.

Authorities later identified the victim as 32-year-old David Moore.

"No description of a suspect, no viable leads at this time," Lt. Rod Bryant with the DeKalb County Police Department said.

He added that they also don't have a motive determined for the crime. It's a disheartening moment for a section of Columbia Drive that Lt. Bryant said doesn't have a major history of violent crime.

"Every area has their incidents, but this is not a heavy-volume crime area," he said.

11Alive is working to gather more information about this crime from police as they discover new leads in the case.
