UPDATE: Search Suspended For Suspect Near KSU Campus

Updated 5:04 p.m.

KENNESAW, GA — Authorities on Tuesday are suspending the search for a domestic violence suspect they say fled near Kennesaw State University.

The Cobb County Sheriff's Office said despite the joint efforts of law enforcement, Jessie Santiago, 26, was not located.

Santiago was accused of running from deputies who identified him from an active domestic violence warrant, authorities said.

At the time, authorities said the deputies were not serving the warrant but tried to take him into custody before he fled from the scene.

Authorities asked residents in the area to practice precaution during the afternoon search, which has since ended for the day.

"While this search generated public attention due to its proximity to a college campus, situations like this occur more frequently than many realize and are typically resolved without the need for public notification. Out of an abundance of caution, information was shared earlier today to ensure the campus community and surrounding residents were aware of the law enforcement activity. At this time, there is no known danger to the public," authorities said in an update.

KSU Police and Cobb County Police assisted the sheriff's office in searching for Santiago, authorities said.

The sheriff's office asked anyone with information on Santiago's whereabouts to call (770) 499-4600, or submit a tip through the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office mobile app.
