A 17-year-old is in custody after two teenage brothers were found shot to death at a Dunwoody apartment complex Sunday, according to police.
Officers responded to the LaCota Apartments at 6668 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard just before 5:30 p.m. and found 17-year-old Brian Veronica and 19-year-old Luis Veronica, both of Stone Mountain, dead in a vehicle, police said.
Investigators later arrested Alexis Hernandez, a news release states. He is charged with two counts of murder.
The shooting was just one in a string of violent incidents over Memorial Day weekend in the Atlanta area. At least two other people were killed in shootings between Friday evening and just after midnight Tuesday.
