Police need help finding an “armed and dangerous” man who allegedly shot another man in Conyers late Wednesday evening.
According to police, the 34-year-old victim drove himself to a hospital shortly before 9 p.m. and before officers arrived at the scene on Rock Hill Drive, not far from Piedmont Rockdale hospital. The suspect, 31-year-old Cameron Holden of Lithonia, had left in a vehicle by then, but authorities were able to catch up with him.
Officers pursued Holden for several minutes until he crashed and then ran away, police said in a statement. Despite several resources being used, including drones and a K-9, Holden was not located.
Authorities said he and the victim knew each other, but no details were shared about the nature of their relationship. A woman who witnessed the shooting is cooperating with investigators, police said.
No information was released about what led to the shooting.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the police department’s criminal investigation division at 770-929-4203. Tipsters can remain anonymous by submitting tips to Crime Stoppers at 404-577-(TIPS) 8477 or by visiting the Crime Stoppers website at www.stopcrimeATL.com. A cash reward is available for information leading to the arrest and indictment of Holden, police said.
