The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported MARTA Police Chief M. Scott Kreher said, “As the nation and our region grapple with increased levels of violent crime, would-be criminals would be wise to stay away from MARTA. MARTA has an extensive network of cameras throughout the system and a near-perfect record of apprehending suspects by our officers. We will work with the court to hold this suspect accountable and seek justice for the victim.”

Police have not provided any more details regarding the second suspect in this case.
