Man, teenager killed in double shooting at DeKalb home

Police are investigating after a man and a teenage boy were killed in a double shooting at a DeKalb County home Thursday evening.

DeKalb officers responded around 7 p.m. to the home on Pleasant Forest Drive near I-20. When they arrived, they found a 22-year-old man shot in the driveway and a 16-year-old with a gunshot wound at the back of the house, police said.

Both victims, who were not publicly identified, were taken to a hospital, where they died.

A neighbor told Channel 2 Action News that he and his daughter were inside their home when they heard gunshots.

“I saw a gentleman in the front yard screaming for help, like he got shot,” the neighbor said. “I called 911. As I was coming out to check on him, I saw another gentleman run from the side of the house.”

A motive is unclear and no details were provided about a suspect.
