ATLANTA — A couple was discovered dead in an Atlanta apartment, and one of the victims' sons was involved in a standoff with police on Friday.

Authorities have identified the man who barricaded himself inside an Atlanta apartment with the bodies of his mother and her boyfriend as 44-year-old Neil Russell. The standoff, which lasted for several hours, ended with Russell’s surrender to police.

Once inside, police discovered the decomposing bodies of Russell’s mother, Henrietta Russell, and his mother’s boyfriend, Marvin Spencer. Authorities also found a woman in the apartment whom they say Russell had been holding hostage during the tense standoff.

A woman who identified herself as the daughter of one of the victims told WSBTV that she requested a wellness check with her father Marvin Spencer and his girlfriend, Henrietta Russell at the Oglethorpe Ave. apartment complex off of Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard.

Upon arrival, officers met Russell’s son, who threatened to harm himself and others before barricading himself inside the apartment, according to WSBTV.

Russell was arrested and is currently facing charges of aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and weapons violations. As of now, he has not been charged in connection with the deaths of his mother and Spencer.

Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the deaths, and further charges could be pending as the investigation progresses.
