DeKalb County police Tuesday identified the man and woman found dead Monday afternoon inside a Panola Road hotel room as Nathaniel Dumas, 34, and 31-year-old Marquita Smith, both of Stone Mountain.
DeKalb police spokeswoman Mekka Parish told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that a maid at the Knights Inn found the bodies around 12:30 p.m. Monday. Both had been shot.
“They do believe they have been dead for some time. We don’t know the length of time,” Parish said.
She said detectives “don’t have a clear motive” for the shootings.
