NORCROSS, Ga. - Police have identified the victims of last week's triple shooting in Norcross as 55-year-old Josephine Roby-Skinner, 26-year-old, Jermaine Roby, and 10-year-old daughter and 10-year-old Jasmyn Skinner.

Investigators rushed to a home in the 700 block of Pebble Creek Drive around 4 p.m. Friday after receiving a 911 call reporting a person shot. Authorities said a father came home to find his wife, son and daughter dead with gunshot wounds. 

Detectives are looking into the possibility the 26-year-old man shot his mother and sister before tuing the gun on himself. A final cause and manner of death will be determined by the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Police have also identified Jermaine Roby as a person of interest in a homicide on Northside Circle in Atlanta on November 18 where 40 year-old Quincy King was shot and killed.
