DeKalb Police are looking for two men alleged to have dumped a dead body at an apartment complex Sunday afternoon.

Kerry Flores' bullet-riddled body was discovered in the parking lot of the Meadow Green Village apartments about 2:30 p.m., said DeKalb police spokeswoman Mekka Parish. The 20-year-old victim has no known connection to the complex, located just off Pleasantdale Road, she said.

Witnesses told investigators they saw two men speeding away in a black sedan, and Parish said a car matching that description was abandoned in a nearby parking lot soon after Flores' body was found.
