COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A person believed to be involved in a deadly overnight hit and run surrendered to Cobb County Police after an hours-long SWAT standoff.
Officials said a person was hit early Wednesday morning on Cobb Parkway north of Lake Acworth Drive. The person driving the vehicle left the scene.
The investigation led them to the suspect identified as Christian Martinez.
Authorities later found the 27-year-old near Bay Island Cay at which time the person barricaded themselves inside of a home, according to Cobb County Public Informations Officer Sidney Melton.
SWAT was called around 5:45 a.m. and the standoff lasted nearly three hours, Melton said.
Police said the suspect wasn't armed and no shots were fired during the standoff.
Police said the SWAT activity in the area left one road closed. The situation impacted Bay Royale, Baywatch Cove and Baywatch Landing, according to the tweet.
At this time nothing indicates that they both knew each other, Melton stated.
The name of the person struck and killed has yet to be released at this time.
