Thetwo victims of a double homicide in Sandy Springs have been identified but Sandy Springs police still don’t know their relationship to each other, why they were killed or who might have done it.

Sandy Springs police spokesman Sgt. Ron Momon said officers found the two when they responded to a report of shots fired at an apartment complex in the 200 block of Franklin Road around 6:30 p.m. Sunday.

They have been identified as 23-year-old Byron Caceres of Norcross and Eulalio “Freddie” Mederos-Vega, 27, of Sandy Springs.

Momon said Monday investigators have no suspects.
