HCSO NEWS RELEASE:
“An investigation is underway following the discovery of a body inside a vehicle parked in
the parking lot of a Brown’s Bridge Road shopping strip.
Just after 11 a.m., Sunday, July 20, 2025, deputies with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office
(HCSO) responded to the Exxon Food Mart shopping strip at 5201 Browns Bridge Road
after a 911 caller reported a suspicious vehicle at the location. When deputies arrived, they
observed a 2015 Mercedes Benz C 300 parked outside of a barbershop located in the
shopping area. When they approached the vehicle and opened the rear door, they found the
partially decomposed body of an adult male in the back seat.
Criminal investigators were called to the scene, and at this point in the investigation, there
is no sign of foul play. The body was transported to the Dekalb County Medical Examiner’s
Office for autopsy to determine the cause of death as well as to confirm the identity of the
deceased.”
