Case Description
**UPDATE**-December 2020- Detectives were able to identify the suspects as Marvin Elliot Germain and his girlfriend, Imani Bruke-Cox. Germain is wanted on charges of Felony Murder, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, and Armed Robbery. Cox was identified as the driver of the vehicle. Cox was told to turn herself in by Riverdale police, but officials say she instead tried to escape the county.
Deputies took Cox into custody after a traffic stop. Officials say all of her clothing was found inside the vehicle. Cox is now in custody at the Clayton County Jail. Deputies have not released what she is being charged with. Germain, who was named the most wanted suspect by the Clayton County Sheriff's Office in November, has not been apprehended.
Law enforcement officials say Germain is to be considered armed and dangerous, and if anyone sees him, they should call 911 immediately. If you have any information about Germain’s whereabouts, please contact the Clayton County Fugitive Squad at 770-477-4479.
