A normally calm Johns Creek street turned into an active police scene early Monday as officers opened a death investigation at a home in the Hillbrooke neighborhood.
Police activity centered on a house in the 5300 block of North Hillbrooke Trace, where crews with what appeared to be the medical examiner were spotted at the scene. There was no obvious crime-scene tape visible when reporters arrived, and officials were keeping details close, according to Atlanta News First. Investigators have not yet released additional information about the person who died or how the investigation began.
