In a quiet corner of Gwinnett County, law enforcement is on full throttle following a deadly shooting that took place on Josephine Road. As bullets echoed on Wednesday afternoon, folks living nearby were brought to a standstill. Caught in the crossfire, a man was gunned down, leading the police to initiate a massive manhunt to nab the perpetrator.
Located in the 6200 block of Josephine Road, the house was instantly turned into a crime scene with several police units responding. The victim, found with at least one gunshot wound, couldn’t survive the attack and was declared dead on location.
With the news of the homicide spreading like wildfire in the county, the residents have suddenly found their peaceful lives rocked. One of the neighbors, sharing his concern over the shocking event, said, “Knowing something like this happened just three, four houses down is unimaginable.”
The incident has particularly rattled parents in the neighborhood. The lethal shooting transpired in close proximity to a school bus stop which compounded parents’ anxieties. Reflecting on this unfortunate event, one father pointed out, “The first thought that races through my mind is fear. I don’t know if my child is okay. I’m not sure I want to continue living here anymore.”
While the police are tight-lipped regarding the victim or the suspect’s names, they’ve confirmed that the shooter was seen fleeing the crime scene. As of now, no clear description of the suspect or the motive behind the homicide has been laid out. Police units, along with the help of SKYFOX 5, have been relentlessly patrolling the area since 4 p.m., joining efforts to bring the at-large shooter to justice.
With the manhunt still active and the sense of fear in residents growing, Gwinnett County is waiting with bated breath to see the end of this tragic episode. As the situation develops and law enforcement inches closer to a breakthrough, the residents hope they can go back to living their peaceful lives, free from the fear of crime.
