'Armed And Extremely Dangerous' Man On Run After Shooting: Report

DECATUR, GA — The DeKalb County police have identified the man wanted for the murder of a 22-year-old postal worker Monday night at a Decatur post office, according to media reports. The police said they're looking for Quantez D’Ante Tyre, 22, the victim’s estranged boyfriend and father of her 6-month-old daughter, WSB-TV Channel 2 reported.

Tyre is considered "armed and extremely dangerous," according to police. He's described as a black man, is 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 160 pounds (see a photo of Quantez D’Ante Tyre at the bottom of this story).

The police and federal authorities accuse Tyre of stalking Tyrika Terrell, 22, and then shooting her in the head in the parking lot of the Wesley Chapel Post Office. Terrell was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, where she was pronounced dead.

Terrell had been with the U.S. Postal Service for about a month prior to the shooting, a USPS spokesman said.

Police investigators say that Tyre ran from the scene toward Wesley Chapel Road, Channel 2 reported. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call 770-724-7850 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS. Callers may remain anonymous.
