Police: Teen in custody, charged with girlfriend's death

DeKalb County Police arrested a teenager Friday afternoon and charged him with the death of his teenaged girlfriend.

Officers responded to the home in the 500 block of Biffle Road near Stone Mountain early Friday afternoon.

Police Public Information Officer J.D. Spencer told FOX 5 officers found the body of the 17-year-old woman inside.

Later in the afternoon, police announced they had taken the teen suspect into custody.

Police did not immediately release the names of the victim or suspect.

At the scene, the suspect's grandfather told FOX 5's Morse Diggs, "Don't destroy your lives over emotional immature relationships."

Sky FOX 5 flew over the home and showed crime scene tape surrounding the home.
