A woman was found shot to death Friday evening near a Gwinnett County highway, police said.
Officers responded to a person shot call in the 5100 block of Stone Mountain Highway and found the victim outside a wrecked car on the driveway of a construction site about 7 p.m., police said. Authorities believe a single-vehicle crash occurred at the site, but they did not say when the woman was shot or if the car belonged to her.
The victim, Breana Rogers, was shot multiple times and died at the scene, according to police. Witnesses told officers that the suspect fled the scene through the nearby construction site.
Police identified Edward Smith as the gunman Saturday morning, but he remains at large. An arrest warrant charging him with murder and aggravated assault has been obtained.
No other details on the shooting were provided. The wrecked vehicle was towed from the scene about 11 p.m.
