A 13-year-old boy was found Tuesday evening lying face-down and suffering from a gunshot wound inside a Riverdale home, Clayton County police said.

Emergency services officials arrived at the Brookview Drive home to assess and treat the boy, but he died at the scene, Clayton County police Sgt. Ashanti Marbury said.

Two days later police don’t have a motive or a possible suspect — despite several people being inside the home when officers arrived, Marbury said

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 404-577-8477.
