Fulton County deputies search for Florida murder suspect after chase, authorities say

Deputies said they are looking for 19-year-old Drequan Hakeem Humes; he's wanted out of Miami Gardens, Florida, for murder and other charges.

ATLANTA — A search continues for a Florida murder suspect who ran away after a chase with deputies in metro Atlanta, according to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies said they are looking for 19-year-old Drequan Hakeem Humes; they said he's wanted out of Miami Gardens, Florida, for murder, aggravated battery, and possession of a firearm by a minor.

The chase happened in a neighborhood in the area of Cascade Road on Tuesday. At the scene, 11Alive's Cody Alcorn saw a perimeter around Boulevard Lorraine SW and Delowe Drive, which is not far from Adams Park.

The sheriff's office said the suspect collided with a bystander's vehicle and the person was taken to Grady Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The wanted suspect, deputies said, ran off.

Wednesday, deputies said they are also looking for another person who was inside of the vehicle with Humes, and fled the scene. 

A witness said the white truck, pictured below, belongs to someone who got caught up in the pursuit. They said a couple jumped from an SUV after hitting a truck in the area of Cascade Road and Sandtown Road.
