    Man Found Beaten to Death at Commerce Dr. Bus Stop

    Decatur Metro | April 7, 2008

    Kathy tipped me off to this story yesterday, but I was without an online source. Rus provides it.

    From the AJC…

    Four arrests have been made in the death of a 48-year-old Decatur man found in downtown Decatur Saturday, police said.

    Decatur Assistant Chief Mike Lee said police arrested three adults and a juvenile late Saturday and charged them with murder. The three older suspects are at DeKalb County jail. The fourth is in juvenile detention. Lee did not identify them.

    Lee said that the man, whom he “tentatively identified” as Bernard Sims, pending confirmation by the DeKalb County Medical Examiner’s Office, died of blunt force trauma to the head. Lee said a passerby saw him Saturday morning in the 1400 block of Commerce Avenue [across from Allen Wilson Terrace] and notified police.

    Yikes.
