A man was found shot to death Thursday evening at his Gwinnett County home, police said.

Officers were called to the 5500 block of Stanfield Court at about 7 p.m. regarding a person shot call. Nelson Cisneros, 22, was found dead near the entrance of his home, police said.

The incident is being investigated as a homicide, but authorities have not said what led up to the shooting or if a suspect had been identified.

After being shot outside his home, Cisneros was able to stumble inside and be among his family before dying, a GoFundMe campaign created by the family states.

“He was able to gather all his strength to make it inside his home and ask for help, a testimony to how brave and strong he was,” the family wrote. “He collapsed in his father’s arms and was accompanied by his aunts and uncles.”
