Man Shot Dead Near Sand Hill; Was It Murder or Suicide?

Justin Pollard

A man was found dead inside his vehicle this morning with a gunshot wound to the head.  The discovery was made just off the Philip Goldson Highway near Sand Hill Village. Investigators were called out and News Five was at the location as they processed the scene. There have been quite a few comments made as to whether thirty-three-year-old Justin Pollard, a call center employee, was the victim of foul play or whether he took his own life. While police have not yet indicated where their investigations are leading them, News Five spoke with a brother of the deceased who preferred to remain anonymous. He said that Pollard was having some problems but that he also loved his children and his family and they will wait to hear what the police say.
