Police are searching for a 22-year-old man suspected of stabbing his father and grandfather to death at a Decatur home.

Decatur Police Chief Mike Booker told WSB-TV Channel 2 that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Decatur police are investigating the killing, which occured Sunday night. He declined to release the names of the victims, but said the suspect's name is Miller Jordan III.

A Decatur police spokeswoman declined to discuss the details of the case when reached by phone early Monday morning.

The Athens Banner-Herald is reporting that Clarke County school officials have identified one of the victims as Miller Jordan Junior, assistant principal at Clarke Central High School.

Miller lived in Decatur with his three children and wife, Gale Jordan, an assistant principal at Kennedy Elementary School in Barrow County. School officials say they were notified of the killing yesterday evening but had few details other than that.
