Gwinnett SWAT Standoff Turns To Search For Suspect

LOGANVILLE, GA — A SWAT standoff in Loganville on Friday night has turned into a search for a suspect police say threatened his child with a firearm.

At about 8 p.m., Gwinnett County Police were called to a domestic incident in the 200 block of Jarrod Oaks Court in Loganville.

When officers arrive, a woman told them the father of her child, 19-year-old Keandre Davis, had barricaded himself inside of the home with their infant child.

She said Davis had a firearm and had threatened to hurt himself and the child, according to police.

Officers surrounded the residence and tried to call Davis out. When he did not respond, police say, the county's SWAT team was activated.

Police obtained warrants for Davis for simple battery and simple assault.

After the SWAT team responded, they found that Davis had fled the home before they arrived. He left the infant in the care of a family friend who returned to the scene after SWAT responded, police say.

The child was returned to its mother and was not harmed.

Gwinnett Police are asking anyone who has information about Davis's location to notify them immediately.
