$10K Reward Offered For Suspect In DeKalb Officer's Shooting

DECATUR, GA — A massive manhunt is underway for a man accused of shooting a DeKalb County police officer Thursday morning after killing his girlfriend. Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and DeKalb County police, say Otis Walker, 27, should be considered armed and dangerous.

Walker was last seen in the 4800 block of Hodgdon Corners Cove in Lithonia.

A DeKalb police spokesman said officers were responding to a domestic call at a Lithonia home when they were fired upon by a man between two houses. An officer was struck several times. When police were finally able to enter the house, they found the woman, whose name has not been released, critically injured. She died at the scene.

The officer who was shot has been identified by DeKalb police as Derek Nunn. A DeKalb police spokesman has said Nunn is recovering from his injuries, but offered no further updates on his condition.

Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to arrest and conviction of Walker.
