Police have identified a second suspect wanted in a pair of rapes that occurred within hours of one another in an abandoned south Fulton home.

And, police say, the two men may have been been involved in additional sexual assaults in the area.

"We feel there's more out there that haven't come forward yet," said Fulton County Police Det. Melissa Parker.

Fulton County is working with the Atlanta Police Department on the investigation.

Kendall Lawrence, 21, should be considered armed and dangerous, said Fulton County police, who released a photo of the suspect late Tuesday.

The man is wanted for armed robbery, kidnapping, rape, aggravated sodomy and possession of a firearm in the commission of felony for the Dec. 9 assaults on Old National Highway, police said.

His alleged accomplice, Deantwan Allen, was arrested in late December. Police said it's possible a third suspect could be linked to the crimes.

"These were two totally innocent women," Fulton police spokesman Sgt. Scott McBride said last month. "Three bad guys just came up and grabbed them.

Anyone with information about Lawrence's whereabouts is asked to contact Fulton police at 404-613-6600.
