Update: Alleged kidnapping suspect shot dead in Loganville area Saturday identified

Update

Natalie Ammons, deputy director for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, identified the kidnapping suspect shot dead by a Braselton Police officer at a Loganville area Kroger Saturday as Aigon Andrew Wallace, 25. She reported that Wallace was wanted for “kidnapping, aggravated assault, and aggravated stalking.”

“At approximately 2:58 p.m., Braselton PD officers located Wallace in a parked vehicle in the Kroger parking lot at 910 Athens Highway in Loganville. When officers made contact with Wallace, he attempted to flee and resisted arrest. An officer tackled him and during the altercation, Wallace attempted to draw two knives from his pockets. One officer fired during the incident, striking Wallace,” Ammons said in a press release. “Wallace was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center but died from his wound. Two knives were recovered at the scene. No officers were injured during the incident.”

Ammons said the investigation is ongoing and, once complete, it will be turned over to the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office for review. She said the reason that Braselton police officers were on the scene and working in the Gwinnett County jurisdiction is because they are also sworn peace officers in Gwinnett County. 

Braselton Police Department had put out a BOLO for Wallace the day before asking for information on Wallace in relations to a domestic violence incident that occurred on July 22 at a local business. The BOLO noted that the suspect had been seen driving a 2009 Pontiac Vibe, white with red pinstripes, and has been known to live in and frequent the Loganville, Auburn and Dacula areas. It warned that he needed to be considered armed and dangerous.
