CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. - A murder suspect who was still wanted in Fulton County was mistakenly released from jail in Clayton County months ago, according to officials. Now, that suspect who became number one on Clayton County's most wanted list, has turned himself in.
The Clayton County Sheriff's Office made the announcement on Monday, Feb. 28. Kaiser Ulrick Suggs was released from Clayton County Jail back in November 2022 when the aggravated assault charges he was facing in the county were dismissed.
Fulton County Jail's records indicate that Suggs had also been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, burglary in the first degree, three counts of felony murder, home invasion in the first degree and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
According to Clayton County sheriff's office, Suggs should have then been returned to Fulton County where he was named a suspect in a murder case after his Clayton County charge was dismissed. Instead, he was released to the public.

Later Tuesday evening, officials said Suggs saw the media headlines and posted on social media that he would turn himself in.
"He did just that," a spokesperson for the Clayton County Sheriff's Office said. "Suggs is now in custody at the Fulton County Jail."
Clayton County said the two employees responsible for his release have been placed on administrative leave. Internal Affairs are currently investigating how this kind of oversight could have been made.
