Double-killing suspect may have pitchfork tattoo

If you recognize the man in this sketch, Clayton County police want to hear from you. He’s accused of shooting three people, killing two, on a wooded trail behind a gas station last month, police said Tuesday.

On April 22, Keith Davis, Thomas Sheldon, and Charles Avent were all shot multiple times while in the path between the Texaco Gas Station and Mill Mobile Home Park on Ga. 42 in Rex, police said. Avent died at the scene and Davis later died after being flown to Atlanta Medical Center.

The suspect is described as approximately 5 feet, 8 inches tall and about 170 pounds. He is believed to be between the ages of 25 and 32. He has a small, afro hairstyle, a “little fuzz” for a beard, and a small tattoo, possibly of a pitchfork, above the right eye near the eyebrow area, witnesses told police.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to contact Clayton County police at 678-610-4711 or dial 911. The suspect should be considered armed and dangerous.
