A suspect who made Sheriff Victor Hill’s VIP Hot List was identified as a suspect in murder of a 73 year old in front a Goodwill store in the city of Atlanta.  The Sheriff’s VIP Hot List targets known criminals involved in part 1 crimes, who if allowed to roam freely, will likely perpetrate a violent crime.  Leondre Pittman was identified as a suspect involved in numerous car thefts and entering autos in Clayton County.  Pittman was also observed on social media brandishing weapons.  Once identified as a threat to the community, the Sheriff ordered his elite COBRA Squad to either get Pittman off of the streets, or run him out of Clayton County.

On Thanksgiving Day, members of the elite team found Pittman in possession of a large amounts oxycodone and took him into custody.  Shortly after his arrest, Atlanta Homicide contacted the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office advising that Pittman was a suspect in a murder of a 73 year old man and that they were in the process of securing murder warrants for him.

Pittman will soon answer for the murder he committed in Atlanta, but meanwhile he is now facing the wall at Georgia’s toughest para-military jail better known as “The Hill-ton”.
