Cobb Police on Monday said they are seeking the public’s help in searching for a 16-year-old murder suspect following a shooting death at a Delk Road apartment earlier this summer.

Police issued a photo and description of Christopher McMutry, whom they believe took part in a shooting on July 30 at the Stratford Ridge complex (2560 Delk Road).

McMutry is described a black male, approximately five-feet-four, weighing 115 pounds, and who has brown eyes and brown hair with short twists.

Police said that a homicide investigation began after two teenage suspects were identified. The other suspect, Jacob Coggins, 17, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and murder.

According to Cobb Sheriff’s Office booking reports, Coggins remains in custody without bond at the Cobb Adult Detention Center.

Police said they have been unable to find McMutry, but provided no other details, including the identity of the victim, and are asking anyone with information to report it, “no matter how small it may seem.”

Tips can be submitted to the Cobb County Police Tip Hotline by calling 770-499-4111 and indicating case number 23-059903.
