2 Men Tie Up Family, Kill Husband During Robbery: Police

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — One man was shot and killed after he and his family were tied up Sunday during a robbery attempt in a Lawrenceville home, according to the Gwinnett County Police Department.

Miguel Osorio, 44, was found dead inside the foyer of his home from a gunshot wound at approximately 3:35 p.m. after officers from the Southside Precinct responded to reports of a person shot at 1766 Scholar Drive in unincorporated Lawrenceville.

A woman told police her husband had been shot during a robbery at the residence. Detectives determined that two male suspects wearing what was described as “construction attire” entered the home with guns and tied up Osorio, his wife and his adult daughter.

After being tied up, Osorio broke free and that is when he was shot by one of the robbers, according to police. Both robbers fled the residence, firing additional shots toward the house, but no one else was injured. The robbers were seen getting into a gold or tan SUV where a third person, the driver, was waiting.

The GCPD Homicide Detectives and the Crime Scene Unit gathered additional evidence.

The identity of the wife and daughter are being withheld at this time.
