ATLANTA _ The search for a man accused of shooting and killing a Gwinnett, Ga., police officer entered its third day Monday as officers canvassed the area near his mother's home.
Just before 9 a.m., Gwinnett police said there was a "credible sighting" of 18-year-old Tafahree Maynard in the Snellville area in the last 12 hours.
SWAT crews were seen on Cordite Loop in Snellville, which is near where members of Maynard's family live, Gwinnett County police Sgt. Jake Smith told reporters Monday morning. Officials think he is in that area.
Police believe Maynard killed Gwinnett County police Officer Antwan Toney on Saturday afternoon.
"We are kind of taking away his resources as much as we can," Smith said.
There is a "good chance" that police are able to find Maynard alive, Smith said. When Maynard was seen, he was in "relatively good health," though he might have an injury to his hand, Smith said.
Anyone who sees Maynard should call 911 and not approach him, police said.
Toney was just days away from his three-year anniversary on the police force when he was killed.
