Missing Clark Atlanta student Alexis Crawford found dead
The body of Alexis Crawford, 21, was found in a park in DeKalb County, a week after she was reported missing. Roommate is being sought.
The body of Alexis Crawford, 21, was found in a park in DeKalb County. It has been a week after she was reported missing, Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields said.
A missing Clark Atlanta University student was found dead Friday.
Crawford’s roommate, Jordyn Jones, and Jones’ boyfriend, Barron Brantley, both 21, will be charged in connection to her murder, Shields said. One of the suspects led investigators to Crawford’s body, but police would not disclose which one.
Shields said investigators are working to secure arrest warrants for Jones and Brantley.
Alexis Crawford and Jones had been friends, according to police.
A motive has not been established, but on Oct. 27, days before she was reported missing, Crawford filed a police report in which she “described unwanted kissing and touching from Brantley,” the police chief said.
“The case has come to one of the saddest conclusions possible and has been absolutely heartbreaking,” Shields said.
