 | Rape suspect caught with DNA evidence |
 On March 18, 2012 at about 1200 hours, Gwinnett County Police Officers responded to a report of a rape at the Bristol Court Apartments in unincorporated Norcross. The victim reported that she was awakened that morning by a masked man standing over her with a gun. The suspect tied the victim up and raped her. Afterwards, he collected her clothing and bedding and set them on fire in the victim’s bathtub. The suspect also disabled the smoke detector. Before fleeing, the suspect attempted to clean the victim of any DNA evidence. After the suspect fled, the victim managed to untie herself and seek help.
The Crime Scene Unit and Special Victims Unit were called to the scene. DNA evidence was recovered from the crime scene. A sketch of a suspicious person seen in the area was completed by a neighbor and a GBI sketch artist. The sketch was used as part of the investigation, but was not released to the media.
The recovered DNA evidence matched a convicted felon named Lorenzo Bradley. Bradley was a resident of a neighboring building in the same complex. SVU detectives had interviewed Lorenzo a few days after the attack, due to a “suspicious person” call from another resident of the complex. The caller had seen the sketch and thought Bradley could be a match. Bradley was approached and identified, however there was not enough evidence to charge him at that time.
On May 11, 2012, detectives served warrants at Bradley’s apartment. He was not home, but turned himself in later that day. Bradley has been charged with the following crimes:
Rape – 2 counts
Burglary – 2 counts
False Imprisonment
Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
Possession of a firearm during a crime – 2 counts
Aggravated Sodomy
Battery
Criminal Trespass
Arson 1st Degree
Bradley remains in custody at the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond.

| Potential workplace shooting averted |
On Wednesday, May 2, 2012, at about 8:12 AM, the Gwinnett County Police Department received a report of a homicide. The caller stated his brother, Mulugeta Ejigu (B/M, 51 years old), told him he had just killed his wife and wanted to kill himself. He also reported that Ejigu was having financial trouble with a gas station he had purchased and blamed those that sold him the business. The caller said that Ejigu was headed to the business, Hewatt Enterprises, located at Briscoe Field (airport) in Lawrenceville. The caller felt that it was Ejigu’s intention to kill the people who sold him the business. He also advised that Ejigu owned firearms and advised what kind of vehicle Ejigu was driving.
A GCPD officer was near Briscoe Field and immediately began checking the area. At 8:38 AM, the officer located Ejigu in the parking lot of Hewatt Enterprises. He took cover behind his vehicle and began giving verbal commands to the suspect. Less than a minute later, Ejigu shot himself in the face. He survived the self-inflicted wound and was transported to a local hospital. Officers recovered Ejigu’s gun inside the vehicle.
At the same time the officer was confronting the suspect, other officers were preparing to enter Ejigu’s home in the 600 block of Sunnyside Drive in unincorporated Lawrenceville. At 8:42 AM, officers entered the home and found Ejigu’s wife, Abeba Belete (B/F, 46 years old), on the floor. She had apparently been struck on the head and was badly injured. Belete was also transported to a local hospital.
Both Ejigu and Belete are expected to survive their injuries. Ejigu will be charged with aggravated assault when released from the hospital. Investigation into the possibility of other charges is ongoing.

| Commercial Burglar Caught |
During March 2012, burglaries occurred at Metro Materials and Humphries Building Supplies which are both located on Humphries Way in Doraville (unincorporated Gwinnett County). Both businesses had copper wire stolen along with brass sieves used for inspecting asphalt samples. The brass sieves are uncommon. Metal Theft Unit detectives contacted several secondary metal recyclers in the area. On March 14, 2012, detectives located the brass sieves at JB’s Recycling in Dekalb County. The brass sieves had been sold to them by Nathaniel Houston (B/M, 29 years old).
Further investigation revealed that Houston sold a stolen laptop to a store called Computer and Audio Outlet on Jimmy Carter Blvd. in unincorporated Norcross. The computer had been stolen from an industrial area in the City of Doraville. GCPD was familiar with Houston from an earlier traffic stop in an industrial area, during which Houston wore black clothing and was carrying a pair of bolt cutters.
Houston resurfaced at JB’s Recycling on April 30, 2012 and employees of the business contacted the Metal Theft Unit. Officers responded and arrested Houston without incident. Houston was at the business selling 12 commercial batteries and a bulldozer size battery. Three of the batteries were stolen from a vehicle inside the City of Norcross. The bulldozer battery and four of the commercial batteries were taken from E.R. Snell and C. W. Matthews at the Vulcan rock quarry in unincorporated Norcross. The origin of the 5 remaining batteries is still under investigation.
Houston has been charged with three counts of burglary, one count of entering auto, and one count of theft by deception. He may be facing additional charges from other jurisdictions. Houston is currently in custody at the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond. The preliminary investigation revealed that Houston has received more than $21,000 from selling metal to recyclers since August 2011.

| Officer Involved Shooting |
(Friday, April 27, 2012) On Thursday, April 26, 2012, at about 6:30 PM, Gwinnett County Police officers responded to a report of a suicidal person at 556 Trophy Trail in unincorporated Lawrenceville. The caller was a friend of the suicidal subject and identified him as James Clark. The caller advised that Clark had cut his arm with a knife and was armed with a gun. He advised that Clark had fired two shots prior to his arrival. The caller also advised that Clark ordered him to leave, telling him it was not safe for him to be there. The first of several units arrived on scene at 6:41 PM.
At 6:49 PM Clark emerged from the home carrying a deer rifle with mounted scope. Although he was armed with the rifle, Clark did not immediately make any threatening moves toward officers. They attempted to negotiate with Clark for the next 14 minutes, ordering him to drop his weapon several times. Clark stayed near the entrance to the home’s carport, and actually put the rifle down at one point. He picked it back up a short time later. Clark climbed on to the roof of a car just outside the carport while yelling at officers. At 7:03 PM, Clark began walking toward the officers while pointing his rifle at them. Two officers fired their weapons at Clark and he was struck and killed.
Members of Clark’s family began arriving at about 7:20 PM. Understandably, they were very upset. The family’s behavior was given special consideration due to the circumstances. After repeated refusals to allow family members to enter the crime scene, Clark’s mother circumvented the police tape and attempted to elude officers. She was escorted back out of the crime scene and was not arrested. Clark’s brother and father arrived and were also given special consideration, given the circumstances. After continued shouted profanity and threats against officers, Robert Clark (brother, 34 years old) and Thomas Clark (father, 65 years old) were arrested. They were charged with disorderly conduct and have since been released from the detention center.
The two officers who fired their weapons have been placed on administrative leave. This is standard procedure in officer involved shootings. The investigation into this incident is being conducted by the Deadly Force Investigation Team (DFIT). DFIT is made up of investigators from the Internal Affairs Unit, the Homicide Unit, the Crime Scene Unit, the Medical Examiner’s Office, and the District Attorney’s Office.

| Murder, Suicide, Aggravated Assault in Duluth |
(Tuesday, April 10, 2012) On April 10, 2012, at about 7:30 PM, GCPD officers responded to a call for a person hit by a vehicle at 3802 Satellite Blvd. in unincorporated Duluth. They were quickly notified that a witness heard gunshots in the area. An off-duty officer working a part-time job was the first to arrive. He discovered an Asian female armed with a handgun standing near two bodies. Several back up officers arrived within a few seconds. The armed suspect refused orders to drop her weapon. Before the officers could take action, the suspect shot herself in the head. The two victims near the suspect were adults; a male and a female. The female victim was transported by ambulance to a local hospital.
The male victim has been identified as Charles Junn (A/M, 45 years old). The female victim has been identified, however we are still withholding her identity. She is a 51 year old Asian female (originally believed to be Hispanic). The suspect has been identified as Sylvia Junn (A/F, 44 years old). Sylvia and Charles were married. All three worked in the same office at the incident location. The investigation revealed that Charles Junn and the female victim likely had an affair in the past.
The investigation has revealed that Sylvia Junn drove to the incident location and confronted Charles Junn and the female victim in the parking lot. She shot them both, then got into a white Lexus and fled the scene. Charles Junn was run over as she left. The female victim was not hit by the vehicle. A witness pulled into the parking lot to help while calling 911. Sylvia Junn returned to the scene in the white Lexus almost immediately, and was still armed with the handgun. The witness retreated from the scene for his safety, abandoning his vehicle. He only made it a short distance before the first officer arrived and he was able to relay updated information directly to that officer. The confrontation occurred less than a minute later.
Charles and Sylvia Junn were residents of Duluth. They are survived by their 16 year old son. The female victim is believed to be a resident of Gwinnett County. At the time of this release, she is still in critical condition in an Atlanta area hospital.

| Air Conditioner Thief Caught |
On April 2, 2012, at about 6:30 AM, Gwinnett officers responded to a report of a man stealing air conditioners from a house on Westheimer Road in unincorporated Stone Mountain (Gwinnett County). Officers responded quickly and caught the suspect while he was still in the neighborhood. The suspect was identified as Zierre Fame Odom (B/M, 25 years old). Inside Odom’s vehicle were several air conditioner parts, wiring, and copper tubing.
Detectives from the Metal Theft Unit responded to investigate further. They were able to determine that the air conditioner parts in Odom’s vehicle came from five separate air conditioner units. They began searching the area and located a second victim nearby. Both of these victim locations were vacant. Detectives narrowed their search to vacant homes, and found the remaining three victims within a few hours.
Odom has been charged with five counts of felony theft by taking, five counts of criminal damage to property 2nd degree, one count of possession of tools for the commission of a crime, and one count of loitering and prowling. He was charged by GCPD for similar crimes during the summer of 2011. Odom remains in the Gwinnett County Detention center without bond.
