A man is charged with murder after he told authorities he stabbed his roommate to death Friday evening in Clayton County, police said.
Officers responded to a home in the 5100 block of Old Grant Road about 11:40 p.m. after Justin Bryant, 44, called 911 and told dispatchers he had killed his roommate, Clayton police spokeswoman Sgt. Julia Isaac said.
In the basement of the house, Isaac said police found 66-year-old Edward Gallaher dead from multiple stab wounds.
Bryant was quickly found in the woods and taken into custody. Investigators determined that some sort of fight between the two led up to the stabbing, but Isaac did not say what the roommates were arguing about.
Bryant, who remains in the Clayton County Jail, was charged with murder, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime.
