Cobb County police now confirm that a man found dead Monday morning in his carport had been shot.

A family member called police to a home in 3500 block of Paul Samuel Road, near Kennesaw, around 7:45 a.m., according to Sgt. Dana Pierce with Cobb police. When they arrived, officers found the body of Frank Davidson, 60, lying in the carport, Pierce told WSB.

"We're not releasing much more on what we may be looking at in this investigation, but we are asking for the public's assistance with any information they may have," said Pierce

One of Davidson’s homes was also the scene of a homicide investigation more than 20 years ago, though it was not known if the two crimes were connected.

In September 1992, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that a childhood friend of Davidson’s, Robert Lee Bruce, was charged with killing Davidson’s ex-wife, Deanna Lynn Davidson.

Bruce, then 45, and his wife had been temporarily staying in Frank Davidson’s home, police said at the time. Frank and Deanna Davidson were attempting reconciliation at the time her body was found. Bruce later admitted to killing Deanna Davidson and was sentenced to life in prison. He died in October.

Anyone with information about Davidson's murder is asked to call Cobb police at (770) 499-3945.
