Editor’s Note: 1 year ago on Peachtree Corners Patch

Gwinnett Police says it’s following multiple leads in a home invasion and homicide early Saturday morning near Norcross.

Police said Clifford Hogan, 38, was found lying face-down next to his bed around 4:30 a.m. on Sept. 27 at 3108 Park Colony Drive in the Sinclair Apartments. Hogan had one gunshot wound to the lower abdomen; he died later at Gwinnett Medical Center.

He was reportedly shot in front of his pregnant fiancee.

The crime scene was located in an area near Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Norcross Tucker Road.

Police said in a news release Monday that Hogan and his girlfriend were in bed when two masked men entered the bedroom, armed with a pistol and rifle, and demanded money.

One of the suspects then shot Hogan.

They stole $1,400 in cash, marijuana, cell phones and the woman’s purse.

The suspects may have fled in a dark-colored, mid-sized sedan.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Gwinnett County Police at 770-513-5300.
