Police search for Gwinnett homicide suspect with ties to Mexico

Gwinnett County police are appealing to the public for help tracking down a 25-year-old man accused of killing a woman near Norcross during a domestic dispute last Monday.  

Gwinnett County authorities are appealing to the public for help tracking down a 25-year-old man accused of shooting and killing a woman inside her apartment last Monday. 

What we know:

Gwinnett County police are seeking Jesus Efren Guerrero Ramirez following a homicide on July 6 at the Sterling Glenn Apartments in Norcross.

Officers responded to the apartment complex  around 1:30 a.m. where 32-year-old Guadalupe Salazar was found dead in her home.

Investigators determined Salazar and Guerrero Ramirez were in a relationship. Police said the shooting stemmed from a domestic incident inside the apartment, which they believe began as a verbal altercation before escalating. 

Detectives obtained arrest warrants for Guerrero Ramirez, charging him with felony murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

While investigators are familiar with him from previous local reports, they noted that his current legal status is unknown. Authorities believe he has fled the area, as suspects rarely stay behind after such incidents. Because the suspect has known ties to both Texas and Mexico, investigators have not confirmed if he is attempting to cross the border or leave the country. 

What we don't know:

Officials have not yet confirmed the exact cause of Salazar's death or what sparked the encounter. Authorities have not disclosed where Guerrero Ramirez may have ran or if he has access to additional weapons. 

What you can do:

Anyone who knows any information on Guerrero Ramirez or the homicide is asked to contact the Gwinnett County Police Department at 770.513.5300.
