Gwinnett Shooting Victims Identified As 16 and 20 Year Olds

BUFORD, GA — Gwinnett County Police on Wednesday identified the two people shot, one of them fatally, early Tuesday in Buford.

Blake Schulte, 20, of Buford, was found shot to death Tuesday morning in a vehicle alongside a dirt road just across the Hall County line. Hours earlier, Alexander Scott, 16, of Doraville, was found in front of a neighborhood clubhouse on Express Lane with gunshot wounds.

He was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville, where he underwent surgery. The teen's condition was unknown Wednesday, but police had said his injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.

At about 3 a.m. Tuesday, someone in the Duncan Park neighborhood called 911 to report hearing gunshots. Gwinnett County Police officers arrived shortly afterward to find Scott.

Investigators began working the scene and a K9 unit from Lilburn Police was called in to help search the area. Shortly before 7 a.m., Schulte's body was found. The vehicle was about 200-300 yards away from the original crime scene.

Express Lane is off of Duncan Ives Drive, near Friendship Road.

As of Wednesday afternoon, police had not publicly identified a suspect or suspects in the shooting. The investigation was ongoing and detectives said more people are believed to have been involved than the two people who were shot.
