FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) - Two men are in custody and authorities are searching for a third after a man was stabbed to death in a Fayette County home invasion.
Sheriff Barry Babb tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution the incident happened at a home in an upscale lakefront community about 2:30 a.m. Friday.
The homeowner was taken to Piedmont Fayette Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name has not been released, but WSB-TV reports he was 74-years-old.
The homeowner’s wife told authorities three men demanded cash and jewelry before taking their gray Lexus and leaving the scene. That’s when she called 911. Deputies spotted the car after the men crashed it, then ran. The sheriff’s office says deputies and Fayetteville police officers found them and took them into custody.
The third suspect remains at large.
