According to NCSO 1st Lt. Mark Mitchell, deputies were called to the residence just before 2 a.m. When they arrived ,they met with a group of people who reportedly told them the suspect had followed them home from an establishment in Conyers to the residence thinking there was a party happening there.

When the suspect arrived, he was reportedly told that he was not welcome and a fight ensued between the victim and the suspect. As a result the victim received multiple lacerations on his arms and abdomen. He was transported to an area hospital for treatment.

According to witnesses, the suspect fled the scene in a green Ford Explorer with gold accents. Although the NCSO Criminal Investigation Division have received a positive ID from witnesses, they are still seeking information from the public and still gathering evidence to make sure the right person is charged.
