A shooting Sunday night at a Clayton County mobile home park left two people dead and another two injured.
One of the victims was dead at the scene when officers responded about 10:20 p.m. to the 500 block of Museum Circle in the Melrose Mobile Home Park community. Three others were taken to a hospital, according to Clayton County police spokeswoman Officer Aubriel Stroud.
“One of the shooting victims passed away at the hospital and the condition of the other two are unknown,” Stroud said Monday morning in an email.
The two killed were identified by police as Carlos Rebolledo and Everardo Esparza, both 34-year-old men from Jonesboro.
The case has been turned over to the police department’s criminal investigations division. As the investigation is still in the early stages, Stroud said motive and other details remain unknown.
Last month, another shooting at a Clayton County mobile home community killed a 13-year-old boy. Brayan Zavala was gunned down Oct. 15 outside his Willow Lane home by a masked assailant.
Clayton police are also looking into that shooting and have not announced any arrests. The department said last week there were no updates, citing the ongoing investigation.
Anyone with information in either incident is asked to contact investigators at 678-479-5540. While information will remain confidential, tipsters may be contacted by a detective.
