Marietta police are looking for a man accused of beating a 27-year-old man to death with a baseball bat during a robbery.
Boydrick Powell was killed during a robbery inside his Franklin Road apartment sometime between midnight and 4 a.m. Sept. 18, said Officer Jennifer Murphy with Marietta police.
Within a few hours, arrest warrants were issued for Jesus Hernandez-Perez, 28, and Jose Marcelino Badillo-Pacheco, 21, both of Marietta, Murphy said.
Hernandez-Perez was arrested two days later and booked into the Cobb County jail, where he is being held without bond and on an immigration hold. But Badillo-Pacheco, aka “Gordo,” remains on the loose, Murphy said.
Badillo-Pacheco is in the country illegally and could be a flight risk, according to police.
Anyone with information about the man's whereabouts is asked to call Marietta police at 770-794-5300 or the anonymous tip line at 770-794-6990.
