Suspect arrested in DeKalb double killing
DeKalb County police have made an arrest in connection with Tuesday afternoon's double killing at the Colony at Stone Mountain Apartments.
Police have not released the suspect's name or the charges. But DeKalb County Jail records show that Deandre Larry White, 18, who lives close to the apartment complex, was booked in early Wednesday morning on two counts of felony murder.
More arrests are expected, police said.
A 22-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man were in a car when someone walked up and fatally shot them about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene, and the man died later at the hospital.
Police said they have not determined the motive.
Spokeswoman Mekka Parish said the victims' names will be released once their next of kin are notified.
The apartment complex is the 1100 block of North Hairston Road, at Trevitt Drive.
