COBB COUNTY, GA — The Cobb County Sheriff’s Office is calling off an active search for a domestic violence suspect.

The Cobb County Sheriff’s Office said deputies are looking for 26-year-old Jessie Santiago, who ran from officers earlier Tuesday.

The incident prompted a campus-wide alert, which has since been lifted.

“Deputies attempted to take Santiago into custody earlier today after recognizing him near the KSU campus. He fled on foot, and deputies are continuing to search the area in coordination with KSU Police and Cobb County Police,” the sheriff’s office said.

Santiago was not found during Tuesday’s search and authorities will now regroup and continue to investigate.

Anyone with information on Santiago’s whereabouts is urged to contact the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office immediately.

Cobb County officials say there is no known danger to the public.
