DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — The Federal Bureau of Investigation has identified the victim of a deadly explosion at a DeKalb County apartment complex.
James Douglas Lark, 30 of Atlanta, died Sunday in the explosion between two apartment buildings. The FBI said no other information is being released at this time.
Neighbors at Redan Cove apartments told Channel 2 Action News they were awakened by a loud boom around 1:30 a.m.
Someone later discovered Lark's dismembered body. She initially thought it was a Halloween prank.
