The victims have been identified as a married couple, Sun Hee Choi, 59, and her husband Young Chan Choi, 63, according to a news release issued by Cpl. Jake Smith. They were the residents of the home and owners of Best Supply, a restaurant supply business in Norcross.

Gwinnett County Police Department officers were dispatched to the home in response to a homicide call at 9:50 p.m. Officers found the couple deceased in the residence, apparently from stab wounds, Smith reported.

Witnesses reported seeing a white passenger car at the scene prior to the crime. An unknown male was seen approaching the front door with a box of apples. No suspects or vehicles were present by the time officers arrived, according to Smith.

At this time, detectives do not know why the victims were targeted or if it had to do with the fact that they owned a business. Police do not have any suspects, Smith said.

Detectives investigating the case ask anyone who witnessed these events or who may information on the crime to call 770-513-5300.
