Suspected gunman sought in deadly shooting at Cobb mobile home park
Authorities released a sketch of the suspected gunman in a deadly shooting at a Cobb County mobile home park earlier this month. Now they need the public’s help identifying him.
He is wanted in connection with the death of Mercedes De-Jesus Antunez Flores, 43, of Honduras.
Flores was found shot multiple times Aug. 17 in a trailer at the mobile home park, which is just south of Marietta, Cobb police said.
Investigators at the scene on Westside Drive were told a woman was seen running from the trailer after the gunshots rang out, AJC.com previously reported. It is unclear if investigators ever located that woman, who is considered a witness.

In addition to the sketch, police released surveillance video of the suspected shooter. Police believe the shooter is between 5 feet, 8 inches and 5 feet, 10 inches tall. His hair is styled in short twists or dreadlocks. He is described as having a skinny build and hair on his chin.
Anyone with information about the man or the shooting is asked to call police at 770-499-3945.
