CANTON, GA — The Canton Police Department has put the call out for the public to help them locate a suspect who was indicted in connection to the 2017 fatal shootings that killed two men on Crisler Street.

Bryson LeShawn Miller, who was indicted earlier this month by a Cherokee County grand jury, has not been booked into the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center. Miller, 29, of Canton, is described as a black male who is about 5'10'' tall, weighs around 165 pounds and has brown eyes and black hair.

The Canton resident is among 13 defendants named in two indictments related to the double homicides. He is the final alleged perpetrator in the indictment who remains free, and a bench warrant has been issued for his arrest.
