Two arrested in Duluth stabbing death

Two people were arrested early Tuesday and charged with last week's death of a man found stabbed in a Duluth parking lot.

A Bank of America customer walking through the parking lot between the bank and an Aldi store on Pleasant Hill Road around 7 a.m. Thursday found Kwang Ko lying in the lot, according to Duluth police Major Don Woodruff.

Ko, 32, of Duluth, later died of apparent stab wounds, Woodruff said.

Early Tuesday, police arrested Seung Won Lee and Dong Ho Shin, both of Duluth, and charged each with murder and aggravated assault, Woodruff said.

The two were booked into the Gwinnett County Jail around 4 a.m. and are being held without bond.

Police have not disclosed a motive for the incident.
