Alpharetta Reveals Fatal Shooting Suspect Caught in DeKalb

U.S. Marshals captured a suspect in an Alpharetta fatal shooting in DeKalb County.

Shane Demetrice Woods was captured at 7:30 p.m. on March 12 by the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Squad.

Woods was found hiding at a residence in DeKalb County. The U.S. Marshals made the arrest with the assistance of the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office.

Alpharetta Department of Public Safety spokesman George Gordon said Rose was shot and killed while answering the front door of a townhouse in Stoneridge.

Sandy Springs police helped capture Jerad Terel Owens, 22, at mid-afternoon on Jan. 30. He was charged with felony murder, armed robbery, burglary, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety developed information that indicated Woods may attempt to leave the state. The department asked for help from the U.S.  Marshal’s Service.  Federal agents began to track Woods in another state, Gordon said. However, for unknown reasons Woods returned to Georgia as agents were closing in on him.

 After the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Squad located Woods, Alpharetta police detectives responded to the scene and took custody of him. He was transported to the Alpharetta North Fulton jail annex and processed.

Gary George, director of Alpharetta Public Safety, states “The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety and I personally are grateful for the invaluable assistance given to us in this case. I commend the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Squad for their work in bringing a dangerous suspect into custody.”
