Suwanee police said Wednesday that the fatal shootings of three people at an apartment on McGinnis Ferry Road were a double murder and suicide.
Officers responding to a shots fired call just before 8:30 p.m. Tuesday found two women and a man dead in a unit at the Amli at McGinnis Ferry complex, according to Suwanee police Capt. Clyde Byers.
Byers told the AJC that Suwanee police investigators, assisted by the Duluth police crime scene unit, had determined that Michael Kenneth Turner, 40 of Lawrenceville, forced his way into the apartment of his estranged girlfriend, 24-year-old Tiffany Hulsey, and her roommate, 36-year-old Deanna Griffin.
"We believe that he shot both of the females and then turned the gun on himself," Byers said.
He said the incident was only the second time someone had been murdered in Suwanee in nearly 50 years.
In February, Phillip Chad Dunn, 28, allegedly stabbed and killed his estranged wife, Shelley Dyan Dunn, 27, in a Walmart parking lot where the couple had met to exchange custody of their two children.
