DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Police are searching for the gunman and motive in a triple murder at a DeKalb County Apartment Complex.
Two men and a woman, all in their twenties, were shot to death in the 5000 block of Par Four Court near Lithonia.
The victims were identified as Eric James Robinson, 27, Stanford Henderson, 28, and Starlynne Henderson, 29.
It started out as a routine disturbance call to 911, but when police arrived at the condominium, they discovered a grim scene of three people dead and few clues on the killer.
Grieving relatives consoled one another outside the condominium, where police found the two men and woman shot dead.
Jasmine Jackson attended school with one of the young men killed.
"It's sad and it's crazy," Jackson said. 'I'm at a loss for words."
About 11 p.m. Tuesday, police received a call about a disturbance at the location, Campbell said. The caller did not specify what happened.
Several hours later, police discovered the violent scene inside the home.

DeKalb police spokeswoman Officer Shiera Campbell told Channel 2 Action News that police brought in a K-9 unit to search the area, but turned up no suspects, nor a weapon.
Alicia Willis, a relative, told us her nephew is one of the victims.
"Somebody came and shot up the apartment," Willis said. "That's all I know. The police ain't said nothing. I just know he's dead."
Willis said she and the man's family are devastated.
"He was real loving, kind-hearted," Willis said.
Sharon Jackson, who lives in the complex, came out to see what the commotion was about, and learned that three young people had been killed.
"I guess it really bothered me because they are my children's age," Jackson said. "I think one of them went to school with my daughter."
Channel 2's Liz Artz spoke with a man who owns the condo where the murders took place, and was staying in another unit below.
He told Artz he heard the entire incident. He said he heard at least a dozen shots fired and that he's never been so terrified.
That man did not want to be identified, and said he was in town to evict the tenants because they have not paid rent in eight months.
