One Murder Suspect Arrested; Reported Accomplice Sought

DeKalb County say they have arrested one murder suspect with the help of neighbors who recognized him on wanted posters.

Now authorities are asking for the public’s help in finding his accomplice.

Jesse Lorenzo Rachell was arrested by the sheriff’s fugitive squad last month on charges of robbing and murdering Bacaseva Hill in July, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Neighbors recognized Rachell from wanted posters and led police to the Cleveland Avenue motel where he was staying, reports WXIA TV.

Investigators believe Rachell and Dwayne Leon Cole stole Hill’s backpack and shot him on Snapfinger Woods Drive on July 22. Cole is still being sought by law enforcement.

“He remains at-large and is considered to be armed and dangerous,” Cynthia Williams of the DeKalb Sheriff’s Office told the newspaper.

Anyone with information on Cole’s whereabouts is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 404-298-8200. Crime Stoppers Atlanta is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest.
