Judd sends along this link to a Fox5 report…
A 55-year-old man was found dead in a Decatur neighborhood on Friday and authorities are now calling it a homicide. [DeKalb] investigators cordoned off an area on Sycamore Drive and Bridlewood Circle in the Decatur Heights subdivision after discovering the body of David Johns.
Police went to the home after Johns’ employer called police to check on him after he didn’t show up for work on Thursday or Friday.
The Decatur Heights Neighborhood blog also has a report of events. The death occurred just outside the Decatur city limits, so the investigation is being conducted by DeKalb Police.
Thanks for the link to the Decatur Heights Neighborhood blog. It will be updated as new information is available. This neighborhood borders ours and some of its residents come to meetings at the Church at Decatur Heights. I didn’t know Mr. Johns, but from all reports he was somebody I would have liked to have known. The mystery is why anyone would want to kill him. I hope the DeKalb Police find out who and why soon, and justice is served. I was born in Decatur Heights 2/3 century ago, and can’t remember a murder along Sycamore Drive or any street near it.
This death saddens me. I am so sorry for that man and his family.
are they ever going to release more details of this murder?
Does anyone have any new information on this situation?
