Grisly Murderer, Dangerous Criminals Taken Off Street: Police

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — Three dangerous criminals were removed from Gwinnett streets last week, including a man wanted for murder, Gwinnett County Police say.

On Wednesday, police arrested Gary Amir-Tournique Lee, who was wanted by Gwinnett County Police after his girlfriend, with visible injuries, reported that he assaulted her with a gun, held her captive and threatened to kill her.

Thursday, police arrested Barry Andrew Webb, who was also wanted by Gwinnett County Police for allegedly assaulting a family member with a machete.

Also Thursday, police apprehended Francisco Javier Sosa. Sosa is wanted out of Prince George's County, Maryland, in connection with a grisly murder.

"These three violent offenders were arrested and are no longer a threat to the public because our dedicated, experienced deputies worked hard to make it happen," deputies said on the department's Facebook page. "That was possible because dedicated, experienced police investigators worked hard on each of these three cases to develop suspects and obtain warrants to bring them to justice.

"A lot of people work every day to help keep you and your family safe," the Facebook post continued. "These arrests are a small reminder of why you should appreciate and support your local law enforcement. We choose to serve and love doing it, but it's nice to know that you know how hard we work for you."
