Clayton County's most wanted suspect in custody

Members of the Clayton County Fugitive Squad arrested a woman Thursday after she was named the No. 1 suspect on the county’s most wanted list.

Squad members captured Ashanti Leandrea Dorsey in DeKalb County, hours after Sheriff Victor Hill made her the first woman to top Clayton County’s most wanted list.

Dorsey faces charges that she shot and killed a wanted man Wednesday after an argument.

According to a news release, Dorsey is accused of killing Dontavious Maurice Morrison on Lakeview Way in Clayton County.

Deputies say Morrison was wanted by deputies for another incident when he allegedly led them on a high-speed chase in the Iron Gate subdivision before leaving a stolen firearm and drugs in the vehicle.

According to the release, Dorsey also shot at another man, causing him to run for his life

The sheriff’s office describes Dorsey as a known prostitute who is a suspect in a series of robberies of men who solicited her services off of the internet.
