More than a month after the body of a 39-year-old man was found in a truck in Gwinnett County, police have released the identity of his suspected killer, who remains at large.
Mark Antonio White, 20, of Covington, has been charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, Gwinnett police spokeswoman Officer Hideshi Valle said in a news release. Police have released photos of White and are asking for the public’s assistance in finding him.
White’s charges are related to the death of Garcia Danielle Gaddis, a Mississippi native who lived in Sandy Springs, according to Valle. Gaddis was found dead inside his red Dodge Ram pickup truck the afternoon of Oct. 24, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported. Police were investigating a suspicious vehicle report when they found Gaddis’ body. At that point, he had been missing for about three days.
