DECATUR COUNTY, GA (WALB) –After more than a week on the run, a murder
suspect is finally behind bars in Decatur County.
Francisco Resendez is charged with the August 20th murder of Shorty
Loredo. Investigators say a fight broke out between Loredo and three
Hispanic men. They say Resendez then stabbed Loredo to death.
A joint effort among Decatur County authorities, the GBI, the US Marshal
service and authorities in Florida led to Resendez's arrest Sunday
afternoon at a mobile home on Dogwood Road near the Florida state line.
Authorities believed Resendez tried to flee the state but did not have
the resources.
