The person whose burned body was found in the woods in northwest Atlanta on Tuesday died from a gunshot wound, police said.
A homicide investigation has been opened after the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the person’s cause and manner of death, Atlanta police said one day after the discovery.
The body was found between the Fulton County Airport and the Perimeter’s westside, off Old Gordon Road near the intersection with Collier Drive, police confirmed. It’s a mostly residential area that backs up to a Quality Inn & Suites hotel and is just down the street from the Atlanta Police Department’s Zone 4 headquarters.
Police have not shared any further information, including the person’s age or gender.
