Two men were found shot to death late Sunday night in an apartment in southeast Atlanta, authorities said.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victims as Calvin Streater, 26, of Atlanta and Samuel Blizzard Jr., 21, of Spring Grove, Va.

Streater was shot in the head, according to Mark Guilbeau, senior investigator for the medical examiner's office. The autopsy on Blizzard is not complete, Guilbeau said.

Blizzard was a Georgia State University student, Channel 2 Action News reported.

A friend found the victims in an apartment at the Station at Richmond Hill Apartments, in the 1700 block of Richmond Circle.

Police told Channel 2 there were no signs of forced entry and detectives believe the victims knew their killer.

"It's my understanding that both victims in this case were here for the Black Gay Pride festivities over the weekend," Maj. Keith Meadows told the station. "We are questioning a number of their friends in an effort to retrace their steps."
