A man’s body was discovered Saturday afternoon in the woods behind a house in northwest Atlanta where two men were found shot to death Friday night.

On Friday, shortly after 6 p.m., police were called to the house in the 2200 block of Gary Court where they discovered the two men shot to death.

On Saturday afternoon police were called back to the house after a friend of the third man discovered his friend’s body in the woods in back of the Gary Court home, according to Atlanta police spokesman Lt. Gregory Lyon. The third man had also been shot to death, Lyon said.

Police did not release the names of the men found dead.

“At this point in time, early in the investigation, we have no motives for the death and at this time we don’t have any suspects,” Sgt. Ricardo Vazquez with Atlanta police said on Friday.
