HAMPTON, Georgia – Authorities in Georgia on Saturday searched for a man who remained at large for hours after he was suspected of shooting dead three men and a woman in a suburban neighborhood south of Atlanta.
Andre Longmore, 40, is believed to be armed and dangerous, Hampton Police Chief James Turner said during a news conference. The shooting happened late Saturday morning in a residential neighborhood in Hampton, a city of around 8,500 people.
Officials released few details about the killings. Turner said investigators were looking at at least four nearby crime scenes in the same neighborhood. He said Longmore resides in Hampton but declined to discuss a possible motive.
The suspect remained at large more than five hours after the killings and authorities promised to continue the search until he was in custody.
“We’ve done a comprehensive search of the general area and are now expanding it a bit,” Turner told reporters.
Investigators were also looking for a black GMC Acadia SUV that they believe Longmore may be driving.
Longmore does not appear to have listed a phone number, and The Associated Press was unable to immediately locate a family member or attorney to speak on his behalf.
Authorities did not release the names of the victims and said they were working to notify their families.
Henry County Sheriff Reginald Scandrett said his office has offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to Longmore’s arrest and prosecution.
He also addressed Longmore directly, saying: “Wherever you are, we will hunt you down, whatever hole you are in, and take you into custody. Point.”
Located about 30 miles south of Atlanta, Hampton is home to Atlanta Motor Speedway, Georgia’s NASCAR track.
Law enforcement agencies throughout the Atlanta area and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are assisting in the manhunt and investigation.
According to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in conjunction with Northeastern University, the shootings were the 31st mass murder of 2023, killing at least 153 people that year.
