Two men are charged with felony murder after police say they shot a man in a Chamblee recording studio.

Jason Williams, 24, and Solomon Hood, 40, were both arrested Monday in connection with the death of 21-year-old Duy Truong, Chamblee spokeswoman Tisa Moore said.

Investigators were sent to Leo Studios on Johnson Road on Saturday after receiving a 911 call reporting the shooting, Moore said. When officers arrived about 2:30 p.m., they found Truong dead of a gunshot wound inside the studio.

Police obtained warrants for Hood later that day, Moore said. On Sunday, investigators identified Williams as a suspect, she said. It is not clear how police connected them to the shooting.

Williams and Hood were both booked into the DeKalb County Jail, where they remain with no bond.

An investigation is ongoing. Chamblee police ask anyone with information on the case to call 770-986-5005.
