GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A woman is dead and a suspect is on the run after a shooting at an apartment complex along Gwinnett Station Circle in Tucker on Monday morning, according to Gwinnett County Police.
Authorities are investigating the 1100 block of Gwinnett Station Circle. Gwinnett Police said they received the shooting call around 7:30 a.m.
When officers arrived, they found the woman dead with a gunshot wound.
"At that point, the situation was locked down," Gwinnett Police Corporal Juan Madiedo said. "We called our homicide investigators, they responded to the scene and began interviewing and canvassing the area."
Alberto said he's lived at the complex for 14 years. He said he's used to crime, and he doesn't feel safe walking around the neighborhood at night.
"There's people out here sad. There are people hurt. People don't know how to react to this type of thing because it's always happening. There's not enough security out here," Alberto said.
According to the police department's preliminary investigation, the shooting is a domestic-related and isolated incident. Madiedo added that the woman and the suspect knew each other and had kids together.
"We hope to have the suspect arrested here shortly," Madiedo said. "He has been identified. And, again, it's an isolated domestic incident between the male suspect and the female victim."
At this time, police said the suspect is not in custody. And the department has not released a description of the suspect.
