DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A suspect has been identified by Mississippi authorities after a man and woman were found shot to death in a burned home in DeKalb County last week.
The fire happened on Monday, Sept. 9, just before 1:30 a.m., at the home along Cohassett Lane. When firefighters arrived, they found the home partially collapsed and two people dead inside.
