A man and a woman who were wanted for murder in Rockdale County have been tracked to coastal Georgia and arrested, authorities said.

Kaliz Hadley, 21, and Tahnee McNabb, 19, were booked into the Rockdale Jail on Friday, charged with murder and aggravated assault, according to the Long County Sheriff’s Office.

While assisting the sheriff’s offices in Wayne and Rockdale counties on Thursday, Long County investigators conducted local surveillance and deployed a drone near Arnold Drive and Jack’s Lane, an area about an hour southwest of Savannah.

The sheriff’s office said “evidence was seized” during a search of a property that was turned over to law enforcement in Rockdale. The two suspects were then arrested, deputies said.

Kaliz faces two charges of murder and aggravated assault, and McNabb is charged with one count of each, according to online records.

The Rockdale sheriff’s office has not provided more details about the killing. On Sunday, the sheriff’s office thanked the other two law enforcement agencies for their help.

“Their coordination with our investigators and the deployment of critical resources — including surveillance and tactical support — directly led to the apprehension of the suspects,” the Rockdale sheriff’s office said. “This is still an active and ongoing investigation, and information will be released as it becomes available.”
