On the morning of Friday, August 14, 2026, 65-year-old Jerome Wyatt was found dead in his Pepperdine Drive home in Decatur, Georgia, after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds. Police say neighbors heard as many as six shots and officers arrived around 5 a.m. to discover the victim.

Investigators identified Wyatt’s 25-year-old son, Eshaun Suggs, who lived in the house, as the primary suspect. Wyatt’s wife, who is also Suggs’ mother, told authorities she witnessed her son enter her room and shoot her husband multiple times. Suggs was taken into custody and booked into the DeKalb County Jail on charges including murder and family violence battery; he reportedly told investigators he has no memory of pulling the trigger. The motive has not been made public and the case is proceeding through the courts.

Does anyone have information about the family, the neighborhood, or events leading up to that morning that could help investigators or the court?
