Deputies on Wednesday identified a man who was found dead in the front yard of a home in Rockdale County late last month, authorities said.
On March 30, the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office got a call at about 8:50 a.m. about a person shot in the area of Hurst Road and McDaniel Mill Road near Conyers. The location is a short distance from I-20 and Hurst Lake.
When deputies arrived, they found the man’s body in the front yard. The victim, who had been shot, was identified as 36-year-old Douglas Machado Coka by sheriff’s office spokesperson Christine Nesbitt.
Nesbitt said she couldn’t provide additional details about what led to his death, including if foul play was suspected.
“We are unable to release any further details at this time,” Nesbitt said Wednesday.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 770-278-8188.
