The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office Monday released the names of the three men found dead Friday and Saturday at a northwest Atlanta home.

Timothy Jackson, 37, and Ruberia Sawyer, 24, were found dead shortly after 6 p.m. Friday by Atlanta police officers who went to the home in the 2200 block of Gary Court.

Saturday afternoon, police were called back to the house after a friend of the third man discovered his friend’s body in the woods behind the Gary Court home, according to police spokesman Greg Lyon.

The third man was identified Monday as 56-year-old James Johnson.

All three men apparently lived at the home, and all three had been shot, according to the medical examiner’s office.

Police have not released a motive for the shootings and have not said whether there are any suspects in the case.
