From the Clayton News-Daily:
RIVERDALE — One suspect is in the Clayton County Jail while one is being sought in connection to a June 9, 2021 home invasion murder in Riverdale.
Clayton County Police said Friday that Tremaine Jackson, 23, is currently wanted out of Clayton County on charges of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of firearm by first offender probationer.
Nicholas Lloyd Price, 20, of 405 Hightower Drive, Fayetteville, is in custody at the Clayton County Jail and is charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
According to Clayton County Court records, Price is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Wednesday, Oct. 18 at 8:30 a.m. in Clayton County Magistrate Court. He had his first appearance hearing Sept. 19.
On June 9, 2021 at 9:45 p.m., Clayton County Police officers responded to 5758 Georgia Highway 85, Riverdale, in reference to a home invasion which resulted in the murder of 20-year-old Norman Johnson III, 20.
This investigation lasted a little more than two years but ended with arrest warrants obtained for Price (18 at the time) and Jackson (21 at the time), the CCPD said.
As detectives sifted through several suspects, possible motives, and numerous leads, the Clayton County Police Department said one tip provided by a member of Johnson’s family proved to be fruitful.
This tip placed detectives on the trail of Price, who was a childhood friend and former basketball teammate of Johnson.
After confirming information and examining evidence against Price, detectives then began focusing on individuals he was closely associated with and were able to connect Jackson to the murder.
“Robbery was discovered to be the motive for this heinous act,” the CCPD stated in a press release.

Thoughts? As of today’s posting date (December 22nd, 2023), a search of Clayton County’s online court records show still no events since murder charges were filed against Jackson on September 19th, 2023 (the thread title reflects the alleged incident date):

Also a few technical notes:
-I believe it is total coincidence and this Tremaine Jackson is no relation to the Tremaine Jackson that was wanted for murder of West Virginia (and later captured and convicted) that we profiled on our site a few years back.
-Those who are longtime readers of the forum know one of my biggest pet peeves- when articles say the public is being asked to help locate a fugitive and there are no phone numbers or means of contact as to WHO or HOW to provide/send information if you know the fugitive’s whereabouts. However the Clayton County Police Department website has a section about Crime Stoppers tips so I’m assuming that’s a good place to start:
