An Auburn man was arrested in connection to the murder and theft and financial crimes against a Lawrenceville man.
The Gwinnett County Police Department reported officers were called to Mount Vernon Drive in Lawrenceville for a welfare check for Robert Terry, 60, on Oct. 29 after he had not been heard from for several weeks. When officers arrived, they discovered Terry dead inside his home.
