The multiple killings took place in the unincorporated community in DeKalb County, about 20 miles northeast of Atlanta, at around 9.15pm.
The victims were identified on Wednesday as Daniel Price, 40, Lynisha Mitchell, 28, and Whitney Nolbert, 33.Â

All the people knew each other. Investigators say Jackson was in some kind of relationship with one of the women he killed.
Victim: A GoFundme message from Daniel Price’s family said they were in Georgia visiting his sister and he went next door to talk to the young lady next door to his sister house, when a friend to one of the ladies in that home appeared, then shot and killed Price as well as the home owner and her sister.Â
Police say the shooter drove away and later killed himself at his own home, a mile away.
33-year-old Whitney Nolbert worked at the Home Depot and had three sons, one of whom is said to be autistic and non-verbal. Records indicate she lived at the home in the 4900 block of Isle Royal Court where the murders took place.
Mitchell was a stay-at-home mother of a young boy and lived in nearby Conyers.
The shooter Howard Jackson [L-R], had a criminal record that included an arrest in 2005 on charges of terroristic threats and battery. He had ties to the female victimsÂ
Price’s mother, Anita, told WSB-TV that she and her son, who is from Michigan, were visiting his sister who lives next door to Nolbert.
According to Anita Price, Daniel had walked next door to talk to one of the women outside. He had some words with Jackson who opened fire, killing the man and the two women.
‘My baby got caught in the crossfire of whatever was going on,’ Anita said.
The grieving mother has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help send her son’s body back to Michigan for burial.
Online records indicate that Jackson was arrested in 2005 on charges of terroristic threats and battery.
