One of the men returned to the house, police said. But the other man ran until he fell, Smith said.

“The other man jumped two fences while he was fleeing,” Smith said. “When officers located him on the other side of the fence, he appeared to have suffered an injury to his leg.”

The man was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, but did not survive.

“The injury that was sustained was not via the officers on scene,” Smith said. “It was when the male was fleeing.”

Officers were not able to locate a woman inside the home, Smith said. There were no indications anyone was shot, he said.

“It’s still an active investigation,” he said.
