The dead have been identified as Eric James Robinson, 27, and siblings Stanford Henderson, 28, and Starlynne Henderson, 29.

Authorities were alerted to the shooting after a 911 call from the complex. "There was someone who called 911, which initially led us to this location," Dekalb police spokeswoman Shiera Campbell told reporters at the scene.

When officers went inside the apartment, they were met with a grisly scene, Campbell said. "We found two males and one female in their 20s. They're all dead from gunshot wounds." She said that there were several people in the apartment and police are trying to get information from those people.

"There were two people who lived at the residence, but other people who were visiting the residence," she said.

Alicia Willis told WAGA-TV that her nephew was one of the victims. "My sister just called and told me he's just gone, he's dead," she said. "All I just know is that they shot him up, I don't know how many bullets, who, what ...." she said.

Police have no motive in the shooting, she said. The shooter remains at large.
