Gwinnett County police are investigating a double shooting that left one person dead Friday night.

Investigators were called out to the 500 block of Alcovy Park Drive in Lawrenceville, where they said they found a male and female suffering from gunshot wounds inside a home.

Authorities said a preliminary investigation indicated that the victims were shot after an unknown male arrived at the location.

Witnesses told police that they heard gun shots coming from inside the residence and then saw a male run out and flee the scene in a vehicle. Authorities said the witnesses were unable to give a description of the vehicle.

Authorities said it is not known if the suspect knew the victims or what prompted the shooting. Investigators are following several leads.

The male victim died at the scene and has been identified as 20-year-old Donny Emmanuel Edouard of Lawrenceville.

At this time, the identity of the female victim is not being released and her condition is unknown.
