DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A deadly fire that killed two people at a troubled condominium in DeKalb County is being investigated as a possible homicide, according to its police department.
Investigators have been at the Brannon Hill Condominiums since Wednesday morning and continued to work into the evening. DeKalb County Fire officials said they found the bodies burned up in a condo. So far, it seems the fire ripped through that sole unit, according to authorities. There's no information on how the fire may have started.
Police have not provided the names or ages of those killed in the fire.
Crime and structural damage issues have consistently plagued the Brannon Hill Condominiums over the last two decades. Back in 2016, Brannon Hill was called the worst community in America by the Deen Media Center for its high crime, unsafe structures, and mounting debris.
In February this year, a pregnant woman was shot and killed at the condominiums. Her baby survived.
