Union City Police search for ‘armed and dangerous’ man wanted for murder of pregnant girlfriend, mom of 6

Police found Deanna Fuller's body at her apartment on Highpoint Road. She and her unborn child later died at the hospital.

ATLANTA — An arrest warrant has been issued as the search continues for a man now accused in the murder investigation of a Union City mother of six, who also had a baby on the way. 

Joshua Fisher, 31, is considered armed and dangerous, according to Union City Police. He is wanted for the murder of his girlfriend, Deanna Fuller. 

Police found Fuller with an apparent gunshot wound to the head; the medical examiner has not yet confirmed that it was a bullet wound. 

She was found at her apartment on Highpoint Road late Sunday night, May 16. She and her unborn child later died at the hospital.

Neither Fisher nor his father were at the scene when police arrived. Police said they believe that one of them may have called 911 as they left the apartment, leaving her on the floor, to go to a party.

The arrest warrant was approved for murder, battery, damage to property and obstruction with 911 call.

According to authorities, Fuller's infant is now with relatives, and her five older children are in foster care, pending her family's petitions to gain custody.

Fuller's sister, Felisha Warr, called her an angel. And she called the suspect cold, sick.

Warr fought back tears, Wednesday, saying she lost part of her soul, her anchor.

"She was the one who protected me," Warr said. "Even though I was older. You know what I mean? She didn't really have any enemies."

Warr spoke of the horror that Sunday night, and took a deep breath as she described what police told her, about Fisher and his father leaving Fuller bleeding, on the floor, to go to a party.

"They left her there. To die. They both knew that she was dying and they just stepped over her and left. They're cold. They're sick."

Warr can only ask why Fisher ran, leaving her sister there.

"He was very controlling of her,": Warr said. "She couldn't have a social life, he didn't trust her. I sat down with both of them and I talked to them, and she was happy. You know? She loved him. You know, love makes you do crazy things. Her kids was her life. And when she loves somebody—she loves 'em hard. And unfortunately, that's what got her hurt. She was just an angel."

Warr has an online fundraiser to try to pay for Fuller's funeral and burial.

Union City Police are asking anyone who knows where Joshua Fisher might be to call 911. And if anyone sees Fisher, they say do not approach him, but, again, call 911.
