Gwinnett Police are investigating the shooting death of a man late Friday afternoon in a Buford-area apartment.

Police spokesperson Cpl. Michele Pihera said the man, believed to be in his late 20s, was shot multiple times in an apartment located at 2606 Hartford Run in Buford some time before 5 p.m.

Police responded to a 911 call at 4:43 p.m. When officers from the North Precinct arrived on scene they found the body of a black male just inside the home. No other people were inside the residence at the time, Pihera said.

The identity of the man was not released, pending notification of the next of kin.

“The detectives received a search warrant to collect any potential evidence in this case,” Pihera said in a news release. “Multiple guns were found inside the home, but it is unclear if any of them are the murder weapon.”

If you have any information on the case, you are asked Detective Brucz at 770 513-5300.
