Gwinnett County police are requesting the public’s help in finding a 33-year-old suspect wanted in connection with the shooting death of a Buford man last month.
Rodericus Jackson is facing a murder charge in the Oct. 16 killing of 35-year-old Quentin Cantrell, who was found shot inside a parked vehicle on the sidewalk of a quiet Gwinnett County neighborhood.
“Jackson’s whereabouts are unknown currently,” police said Thursday.
At about 3 a.m. that day, officers responded to a person shot call at a home on Allen Street in Buford and found Cantrell’s body inside the vehicle. He died at a hospital, police said.

At the time, detectives were trying to identify at least two people they said might be involved. Police said officers canvassed the area, located about a mile northeast of downtown Buford.
“There currently is not additional warrants out, but that doesn’t mean there could not be if probable cause were to develop during the investigation,” police spokesman Cpl. Ryan Winderweedle said Thursday.
Jackson is facing charges of felony murder and aggravated assault, police said. It was the second deadly shooting within a span of eight hours in the county.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Gwinnett detectives at 770-513-5300. Tipsters can remain anonymous, and be eligible for rewards, by contacting Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477, texting information to 274637 or visiting the Crime Stoppers website.
