CONYERS, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - The Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office provided an update on a deadly triple shooting overnight in Conyers.

It happened around 12:10 a.m. Monday. According to investigators, deputies were called to the 3700 block of Sugarcreek Lane SE in the Honey Creek Subdivision for shots fired.

When they arrived, they found two adults, ages 50 and 51, as well as a 17-year-old shot to death inside the home.

Officials say this was a domestic incident and it was not random. They said an argument led to the shooting.
