Police in East Point have released a photo of a man they believe is tied to a string of home invasions in south Fulton County.
Jacquez Antonio Walker, 22, has been identified as a suspect in the home invasions, which neighbors in East Point call “creepy.”
There have been at least five cases, and authorities have tied Walker to two of them, Channel 2 Action News reported. Police said in all but one of the break-ins, nothing was stolen; the man entered the homes and just stood there.
Tiffany Wiseman’s home in the Heritage Park neighborhood was hit twice in one week, she told Channel 2.
“When I screamed he didn’t move, and he just needs to be caught,” she said.
Wiseman said the incident was unnerving. Afterward, she barricaded herself inside her home and armed herself, she told the news station. Two days later, the man was back again, she said.
“He went for the door and tried to kick at it,” Wiseman told Channel 2 soon after the incident.
However, the would-be intruder never made it inside Wiseman’s home the second time, according to Channel 2. The woman shot at the invader as he tried to break door the down, she said.
“He got the door knob off again,” she said. “Once I (fired the gun) he was gone and I called police.”
Wiseman missed the man, and he ran away, Channel 2 reported.
Walker is also wanted on theft charges, the news station reported.
