GBI IDs Man Shot While Fleeing From Cobb County Police

SMYRNA, GA — A suspect who authorities say was shot while running away from Cobb police Friday has been identified by the GBI as Isaiah Stewart, 18.

The GBI named Stewart as one of the four people who led Cobb police on a chase in a Toyota Rav 4 after officers tried to pull them over around 2:30 a.m. in the 1200 block of Winchester Parkway.

Authorities said the four people were suspects who had broken into multiple cars in the area.

After a Cobb officer pitted the car, the suspects ran away, and one of them pointed a gun at officers, authorities said.

Stewart hid in a manhole after being shot, and was then taken into custody, according to the GBI. He was treated for injuries that were not life threatening at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital, authorities said.

The GBI identified one of the suspects as Montavis Farmer, 19, who the agency said was arrested without incident.

Stewart was being held in the Cobb County Sheriff's Office as of Monday evening, according to jail records. He was arrested on a charge of entering automobile or other motor vehicle with intent to commit theft or felony and had no bond set, jail records showed.
