DeKalb County police are searching for a man charged with murder following an April fight that resulted in fatal injuries for a 25-year-old man.

A photo of the suspect was released, but officials did not share further information about the man’s identity. He is facing murder charges after a fight with Victor Adu on the afternoon of April 5, DeKalb police spokeswoman Michaela Vincent said in a news release.

After the fight, Adu was taken to the hospital with head trauma and died there the following day, Vincent said. The fight took place in the 2300 block of Peachwood Circle, just off the northbound I-85 Frontage Road before the Shallowford Road exit.

Anyone with information about the man in the photo is asked to call DeKalb homicide detectives at 770-724-7850 or Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta at 404-577-8477.
