A man wanted in connection with his estranged wife’s death was being sought by DeKalb County police Sunday morning.

Orlando Price, 39, is wanted on a murder warrant after police found Jameca Price dead in his DeKalb County home on Tucker Point Drive, Channel 2 Action News reported.

Jameca Price of Roswell had been reported missing Wednesday.

Tanisha Pinkin told Channel 2 her friend was in an abusive marriage and Jameca Price had recently taken her two children and left her husband.

“She was doing the right thing and it still didn’t turn out right,” Pinkin said.

Shauntre Allison said her sister was a graduate of Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School, a driven paralegal with a real estate license and someone who desperately wanted to provide for her children.

Allison told Channel 2 her estranged brother-in-law is a threat to the public and may be headed to his home state of New York.

“We don’t know what he may do next,” Allison said. “Or who he may try to harm next.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477, text information to 274637 or visit crimestoppersatlanta.org. Tipsters can also remain anonymous and be eligible for rewards of up to $2,000.
