Sheriff's Office Seeks Public's Help in Finding Murder Suspect

The DeKalb county sheriff is asking for the public's help in finding murder and aggravated assault suspect Angelo Dennard, 32. Police say Dennard is wanted for the murder of Dianna Cruz-Sagrero on Redan Road in unincorporated Decatur earlier this month.

According to the press release from sheriff's office:

"Witnesses, including Dennard’s mother, indicated that he shot the victim three times on June 16th, after she refused to talk to him about their relationship. The shooting occurred outside apartment 2501 at 3737 Redan Road, Decatur. Dennard’s mother also told police that her two grandchildren also witnessed the shooting.  Because they are under 18, Dennard is also charged with two counts of third degree cruelty to children."
