Police ID suspect sought in armed robberies

Investigators ask for public’s help to find 21-year-old man.

Police in Brookhaven said they have identified the man who allegedly robbed two businesses in two Dekalb County cities last summer, but they are still trying to locate him.

Christian Kwan Hunt, 21, is wanted on charges of armed robbery and aggravated assault in connection with the incidents, which happened within a three-day stretch in June of last year.

Police on Tuesday said they obtained warrants for Hunt’s arrest but did not specify how they identified him as a suspect in the case.

The first robbery occurred June 8 at a T-mobile store off Church Street in Decatur, police previously said. Investigators said a man pulled out a silver handgun and demanded an undisclosed amount of cash from the store’s register before run- ning away.

Three days later, the same man struck at a Wingstop off Peachtree Road in Brookha- ven. The suspect pointed a silver handgun at the clerk and received an undisclosed amount of cash before leav- ing, authorities said.

Surveillance photos released by Brookhaven police show a man investigators identified as Hunt taking a MARTA train. Police previously said the suspect may regularly ride MARTA.

“Both of the businesses t hat were robbed were within a quarter of a mile of a MARTA station,” police said.

Hunt is described as about 6 feet tall with tattoos on his left arm and neck. He may be in Lithonia but also has ties to Dooly County.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact Brookhaven police. Tipsters can also contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477 or online at Stopcrimeatl.com.
