Landlord finds dead man in rental home

Atlanta police say a landlord discovered a man’s body while showing a house to a prospective renter.

Salvatore DiMauro tells news outlets he was going through the rooms Monday morning with a prospective tenant when he made the grisly find behind the southwest Atlanta house at 666 Quaker Street. Police say the person had been shot to death.

A neighbor says she heard two gunshots late Sunday night but did not see anything.

Authorities were withholding the identity of the victim until his family is notified.
