Manhunt Underway in Georgia for Suspected Killer of Four

A manhunt is currently underway in Georgia as authorities search for a man suspected of fatally shooting three men and a woman in a suburban neighborhood south of Atlanta. The suspect, identified as Andre Longmore, aged 40, is considered armed and dangerous, according to Hampton Police Chief James Turner, who provided updates during a press conference. The tragic incident took place in a subdivision in Hampton, a city with an approximate population of 8,500.

The authorities have refrained from disclosing extensive details regarding the killings, although Chief Turner mentioned that detectives are investigating multiple crime scenes within close proximity of each other. While Longmore is a resident of Hampton, a potential motive has not been revealed at this time.

Despite the passage of more than five hours since the killings, the suspect remains at large. Law enforcement agencies have committed to an exhaustive search, expanding the scope beyond the immediate vicinity, as Chief Turner informed reporters.

Officials are also on the lookout for a Black GMC Acadia SUV, which they believe Longmore might be driving. However, the suspect does not have a listed phone number, and efforts to contact family members or locate an attorney on his behalf have been unsuccessful.

The identities of the victims have not been released as authorities are still in the process of notifying their families.

To aid in the swift capture and prosecution of Longmore, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office is offering a reward of $10,000 for any information leading to his arrest.

Sheriff Reginald Scandrett directly addressed the suspect, emphasizing that law enforcement will tirelessly pursue him, regardless of where he may be hiding.

Hampton, situated approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of Atlanta, is known for being the home of the Atlanta Motor Speedway, a popular racetrack for NASCAR events.

Multiple law enforcement agencies, along with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, are collaborating in the ongoing manhunt and investigation.

This incident marks the 31st mass killing of 2023, resulting in the loss of at least 153 lives this year, as documented by a partnership between The Big Big News, USA Today, and Northeastern University.

Correction: This story has been revised to reflect that Hampton is roughly 30 miles south of Atlanta, not 40 miles away.
