The Gwinnett County Police are currently piecing together the events that unfolded at a residence on 3200 Ivy Birch Way, following a distressing call that led officers to a grim discovery.
According to the Gwinnett County Police Department, at about 1:45 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area after a report from a concerned caller. She reported hearing loud noises and desperate grunts for help, prompting an immediate response from local law enforcement.
