Fugitive Accused Of Norcross Murder Tracked By K9, Arrested

CUMMING, GA — A gunman accused of killing a man at a Norcross events hall was caught Tuesday night after a police dog tracked him to a Dumpster — and the takedown was caught on video.

Billy Galvez, 22, of Atlanta was arrested on outstanding warrants of malice murder and aggravated assault for the July death of Alejandro Ramirez, 35, of Alpharetta. According to a news release from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office found Galvez at Fowler Park in Cumming after a brief chase.

Authorities said Galvez shot Ramirez on July 5 after a dispute at the Fusion Event Center on Brook Hollow Way in Norcross. Ramirez was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Body cam video posted Tuesday to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Facebook page shows K9 Hummer leading Cpl. William Sessa and other deputies to Galvez.

Also arrested was Jennifer “Jenni” Rodriguez-Cardona, who was booked into the Forsyth County Jail for hindering the apprehension of punishment of a criminal. Galvez is being held without bond at the Gwinnett County Jail.
