Homeowner Kills Robber; Cobb Police Look for Two Others
(WSB Radio)
A 21-year-old homeowner mugged as he walked into his Flags West apartment
Saturday night managed to grab a pistol and shoot one of the men who'd robbed
and pistol-whipped him. Cobb Police spokesman Dana Pierce tells WSB's Veronica
Waters, "One of the three suspects was fatally wounded in the hallway of
the apartment, and the other two suspects fled from the scene, leaving the area
in a white type of vehicle." Now, police need help identifying the slain
robber.
Cobb Police say one of three black male suspects was fatally shot by the man
they attacked in a pistol-whipping home invasion on Six Flags Drive. The slain
suspect's identity is still unknown.
The homeowner, who'd just arrived at his Flags West apartment, says three men
forced their way into his home as he tried to close the door. Two suspects
attacked him, while a third took the homeowner's mother--who was babysitting a
young child at the time--into a back bedroom to get any cash or jewelry she
owned. Police spokesman Dana Pierce tells WSB the other suspects then dragged
the homeowner into the back room as well. "Two males were on top of him,
kicking and beating him," Pierce says. "One of the three tried to take
the homeowner's coat, and at some point he was able to get to a pistol. As the
three males began to leave, he was able to shoot one of them."
Police believe the slain suspect to be relatively young, between 16-20 years
old. He is a black male, 5'8", about 130-140 pounds, with brown eyes, short
brown hair, "and what investigators termed to be 'peach fuzz' similar to a
moustache," Pierce says.
Pierce tells WSB the suspect had unique accessories. "The unique thing that
he was wearing was a channel gold cross, inlaid with about 100 diamonds. The
size of this gold cross was about two-and-a-half inches tall, and about an inch
and three-quarters wide. He also had his eyeteeth outlined in gold."
Anyone who may know the dead man, or has information on the other suspects who
got away in a white vehicle described as a possible Mercury Cougar, is asked to
call the Cobb County Police Crimes Against Persons department at (770)499-3945.
