JONESBORO — In a recent Facebook video, the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office had a message for a teen suspect wanted in connection to a June 29 fatal shooting at Lovejoy Park.
“Turn yourself in,” an SCSO officer said in the video to the suspect Oliver Choyce. “My team behind me — the Panther Unit — they’re going to hunt you down.You ain’t safe nowhere and whoever is harboring him, you better turn him in too because you’re going to face the consequences.”
In June, Clayton County Police Department detectives identified Oliver Lamar Choyce as the suspect in the homicide and was wanted for murder and aggravated assault.
Choyce was known to frequent Lovejoy, Atlanta, and the Fulton County area.
Choyce was described as a 15-year-old black male with black hair; brown eyes; 6 feet, 1 inch tall; and weighing 140 pounds.
The CCPD said that on June 29 at 5:56 p.m., officers responded to 1935 McDonough Road, Hampton, (Lovejoy Regional Park) in reference to a body being located in the very back of the park near the wood line.
Upon arrival, officers found the victim, Jamarious Deante Smith, 15 — deceased with multiple gunshot wounds.
After an extensive investigation by the Clayton County Police Department, detectives identified Choyce as the suspect.
“Every time you lay down your head and go to sleep Mr. Choyce, I want you to think of this unit right here — the Panther Unit — because they’re going to kick on your door,” the officer in the video said. “Every time you go somewhere look behind your back because they’re going to be there stalking you.”
