CUMMING, Ga. -- The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office is investigating an apparent murder-suicide where a tenant shot his landlord to death before killing himself.

Sheriff's Captain Frank Huggins said the body of a male believed to be in his 70s was found early Wednesday in an apartment of the quadraplex he owned in suburban Atlanta. Huggins said the man likely had been dead a couple of days.

Huggins said a co-worker concerned that the man had not shown up to work went to his home and called police after finding the body.

Huggins told the ForsythNews.com, "By all indications at the scene it was a homicide.”

Huggins said investigators probing the shooting searched another apartment in the quadraplex later that day. There officers found a 50-year-old man dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police are not releasing the names of the victims.
