Have you seen this Coolio lookin’ mother fu**er? Call DeKalb County police and let them know.
(WSB Radio) The man accused of shooting a DeKalb County police officer remains on the run at this hour.
The suspect, identified as Derek Frye, is described as a light-skinned black man, approximately 5 foot 10, 180 pounds with a ponytail.
U.S, Marshals, ATF agents, the Georgia State Patrol and other local law enforcement agencies are assisting DeKalb County police with the search effort.
DeKalb police spokesman Jason Gagnon said Frye is wanted for the Wednesday afternoon shooting of Officer Jerome Tillery near the intersection of Bouldercrest and River roads in Ellenwood.
Tillery was responding to the report of a shooting in the neighborhood when he encountered the suspect.
Because of the serious nature of the crime, Gagnon told WSB’s Mark Alewine “we’ve done a reverse 911 with the citizens in this area to just alert them that we have a wanted fugitive on the loose that’s obviously armed and dangerous.”
Frye has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault. It’s unclear if he has a previous criminal record.
Tillery, who’s 26 years old and has been with the police department for two years, is being treated for a non-life threatening gunshot wound to the arm at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. His cousin, Tony Blake, told Channel 2 Action News “one thing about it, he’s tough, he’s tough, he’s a pretty tough guy.”
