Georgia Southern University spokesperson Loretta Brandon verified Wednesday that a man killed Tuesday in Marietta was enrolled at the university.
Chen Yin Chang, 22, Marietta, was found dead of a gunshot wound late Tuesday morning, according to reports. Cobb County police responding to a report of a "person down" near a building at Wood Chase Village Apartments, off Terrell Mill Road, found Chang dead of a gunshot wound to the head, according to Cobb County Police spokeswoman Cassie Reece. According to reports, police had yet to determine a motive for the shooting and are investigating the death as a homicide.
Brandon said Wednesday she could only confirm Chang was from Marietta and was a GSU student.
