HIGHLIGHT ARREST

D’ANDRE EVANS       HOMICIDE       ATLANTA, GA

Alleged killer receives a special surprise from Operation FALCON on his birthday. D’Andre Omar Evans, 24, aka “Lunatic,” was wanted for homicide by the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia. Evans, a Compton, California “Cripps” gang member, was a suspect in at least six other drug-related homicides in the area and had been placed on the “Most Wanted” list by the Sheriff’s Office. The case was assigned to an Operation FALCON team for investigation. Information was developed that Evans and his associates were planning additional murders in attempt to take control of the drug trade in the Six Flags area of Cobb County, Georgia. As part of Operation Falcon, the United States Marshals Service Aerial Surveillance Unit was deployed and conducted extensive surveillance of possible hideouts and known associates. Further investigation by Operation Falcon team members lead to the quick arrest of Evans on April 7, 2005.
