The manhunt is over for a Clayton County suspect who had fatally shot a deputy on November 4, authorities said late Tuesday.
Fugitive Jordan Jackson was located at an apartment complex in Riverdale at around 5 p.m. when detectives received a tip.
“Jordan Jackson was found hiding out with some friends in Clayton County,” the Henry County Sheriff’s Office said.
“After barricading himself in a room, SWAT teams addressed the situation utilizing tactful methods which resulted in authorities being feet away from Jordan. The suspect took his own life seconds before being captured.”
Authorities were offering a $60k as a reward for information that may lead to Jackson who gunned down Henry County Police Officer Paramhans Desai, 38, while he responded to a domestic argument involving the suspect.
The dad-of-two spent days at Grady Memorial Hospital before succumbing to his wounds late Monday.
