SPALDING COUNTY, Ga. - Spalding County officials are offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who can help them arrest a "dangerous" suspect wanted in connection with the deadly shooting of an 11-year-old girl.
According to Spalding County authorities, on March 14, 11-year-old Asijah Love Jones was in bed sleeping when a bullet entered the apartment, killing her.
After an investigation, Spalding County Sheriff Darrell Dix says deputies identified the suspect as 22-year-old Kionta Parks, who authorities say is armed and dangerous.
"All indications are that it was a gang-related shooting, and he was shooting at another person who pulled into the parking lot, from about 100 yards away, with a rifle and was just spraying bullets," Dix said.
Parks is now wanted on charges of felony murder, three counts of aggravated assault, four counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, cruelty to children, 14 counts of violating the Georgia Criminal Street Gang Act, and domestic terrorism.
Dix said Parks has a history of violent acts, calling him a "monster."
"He has a complete disregard for human life. He thinks nothing of it. He thinks nothing pulling a trigger on a gun, just like he doesn’t think about breathing," the sheriff said.
Investigators now believe that the wanted man has cut his hair and may have taken other steps to change his appearance.
"At this point, he has made the conscious decision to run. That is his choice and his decision, just like pulling a trigger was his choice and his decision. Even with that, if he has a different side to the story, we will listen to it. We can’t hear it if he’s running and refuses to talk to us. Running isn’t going to help him, and it’s just a matter of time before he is caught," Dix said in a statement Thursday. Her blood on his hands isn’t going away, and neither are we."
Authorities say their investigation is "far from over" and they are working on every lead they have to try and find Parks.
If you have any information about the case, please call investigators at (770) 467-4282.
