Marco Antonio Cruz is wanted for the homicide of 17-year old Christopher Daniel Carrillo. Authorities allege that three suspects, including Marco pointed a gun at Christopher, demanding money and marijuana. Christopher was then shot to death.
Two suspects were arrested in the days after Christopher's homicide, but Marco remains on the run.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office at 770-619-6500 if you have any information on Marco Antonio Cruz's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, January 15, 2023, Marco has several criminal cases from 2017 in Gwinnett County's Odyssey Court Records. These include warrants for charges of murder, armed robbery and aggravated assault and an indictment on these charges from the DA's office. None of these cases have had any updates since they were filed in 2017, confirming that Marco is still at large.
As with similar cases, the fact that Christopher's homicide appears to be related to drugs does not mean in any way that he deserved to be killed. Christopher was only 17 at the time which is really tragic. I would really like for there to be justice in this case.
Finally the only reason I even know about this case was that I was going through county most wanted news stories and just happened to come across this case.
EDIT: I also did not see an UFAP (Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution) case for Marco in PACER.
