APD officer wanted for murder in Hapeville

Hapeville police are looking for an Atlanta police officer wanted on murder charges.

Police issued a wanted poster for Tahreem Zeus Rana, 23. They say he is a city of Atlanta police officer and their No. 1 suspect in the death of 26-year-old Vernicia Woodard.

A Hapeville city worker found Woodard’s body on fire along Elm Street on Friday. The GBI was called in to help, and investigators say the body was lit on fire in an effort to destroy evidence.

Hapeville police say they consider Rana armed and dangerous. He is wanted on murder, arson and kidnapping charges.
