The ongoing investigation into the triple homicide that occurred Friday night at 223 Bart Drive has led to the positive identification of two victims, both believed to be from the Atlanta area. One of the victims has been identified as 22-year-old Jesus Gallardo-Ramirez. The second identified victim is a 48-year-old man, whose next of kin is being notified.
The residence at 223 Bart Drive, recently sold and sparsely furnished, was being leased by an individual from Atlanta. At approximately 10:35 p.m. on Friday, two of the victims and a woman arrived at the home in a white Honda sedan with a Georgia temporary tag, joining another victim already present. Shortly after their arrival, several individuals approached the house, fatally shot one victim on the front porch, entered the home, and killed the other two victims. The suspects then fled to at least one nearby vehicle and drove off.
