Two men are dead after gunfire erupted in a South Fulton neighborhood Monday morning, authorities said.

Details are limited, but South Fulton police confirmed they responded around 7 a.m. to the shooting in the 6900 block of Talkeetna Court in the Falls at Cascade Palms neighborhood. The subdivision is located near Cascade Palmetto Highway and has more than 200 single-family homes, according to its website.

The victims were identified as 34-year-old Leon Kennedy and 39-year-old Joshua Robinson by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.

It’s unclear what led to the shooting.

“Our investigation is not complete, therefore we are not putting out the motive until we can confirm the details related to this incident,” police Lt. Patrick Triplett told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
