Johns Creek police have identified three suspects in the death of a woman found inside a burning car in a Lawrenceville neighborhood.

Tuesday, officials told FOX 5 that 18-year-old Deshaun Flournoy, 20-year-old Michael Smith, and 20-year-old Antoine Sims are wanted for the murder of Adelisa Murtovic on Oct. 29.

Firefighters found Murtovic's body inside the vehicle after extinguishing the flames. The car was fully ablaze when they arrived on scene.

"They put the fire out and discovered there was a body within the car," Lawrenceville Police Lt. Jake Parker said in October.

At the time, police call the death suspicious and suspected foul play, believing that the car was set on fire deliberately.

Police say an investigation led them to a Johns Creek apartment complex, after Murtovic's boyfriend told them the couple had recently gone to the apartments to buy drugs.
