Police identify 3 family members killed in Norcross shooting
NORCROSS, Ga. - Police have identified three family members killed in a triple shooting in Norcross last week.
Investigators rushed to a home in the 700 block of Pebble Creek Drive around 4 p.m. Friday after receiving a 911 call reporting a person shot. Authorities said a father came home to find his 55-year-old wife, Josephine Roby-Skinner, 26-year-old son, Jermaine Roby, and 10-year-old daughter, Jasmyn Skinner, dead with gunshot wounds.
Detectives are looking into the possibility the 26-year-old man shot his mother and sister before turning the gun on himself. A final cause and manner of death will be determined by the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Relatives spoke with FOX 5's Marissa Mitchell Sunday. They declined to do an interview but said they're heartbroken over the loss and are comforting the father at this time.
Neighbors told FOX 5 the family had lived in the area for years and were friendly with others in the neighborhood.
“It’s very sad. They looked like a regular family,” said neighbor Anselmo Ojeda.
Martha and Oscar Gonzalez live two houses down from the victims. They said they have lived in the neighborhood for decades.
"I'm very shocked. This is the first time something like that has happened around here. I have lived here almost 30 years. For something like that to happen, I am very sorry about it," Mr. Gonzalez said.
