Dunwoody Police Find Second Vehicle Ditched by Shooting Suspect

Sandy Springs Police say Matthew Terry may have taken off in Shawn Crews’ Mercedes-280 after he allegedly shot her on March 24. This week, it was found in Dunwoody by Dunwoody Police, said Sandy Springs Police Capt. Steve Rose.

Terry, 42, remains on the run. He is wanted in the shooting of Shawn Crews at Chastain Apartments on Roswell Road in Sandy Springs.

On March 26, police found Terry’s 2005 black Cadillac Escalade at a relative’s residence in metro Atlanta. Police believe he drove the Escalade from his home in Poughkeepsie, NY. He moved there from Sandy Springs about a year ago, Rose said.

Police believe Terry, who is  Crews’ ex-boyfriend and the father of her toddler son, was waiting for Crews when she arrived home that Sunday, just after 5 p.m. The two argued, Crews ran out of the apartment and was shot several times - once in the face - in the breezeway or stairway, Rose said. 

Her four-year-old son was at the location when the shooting occurred but not injured.

Crews, 38, was taken to Grady Hospital.

“She is continuing to improve but she has serious injuries,” said Rose, last week.

Warrants on Terry include Aggravated Assault, Burglary, and Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony
