A Gainesville man wanted for murder was hospitalized over the weekend after being injured in a serious car crash in Gwinnett County, police say.
On Saturday, April 15, Gainesville police were alerted to a welfare check at Spring Valley Apartments. There they found Casey Lynn Mae Allen, 32, of Gainesville, dead of apparent stab wounds.
According to the Gainesville Police Department, officers quickly identified Christopher Dean Snow, 31, as the lead suspect in the case. Shortly after, police tracked Snow to Gwinnett County, where he was involved in a serious car crash on Interstate 85.
Police charged Snow with felony murder. He remained hospitalized as of Sunday morning, April 16.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Casey and her children,” says Gainesville Police Chief Jay Parrish. “Sadly, multiple families have been impacted by this horrific event. As an agency, we will continue to support the families, even long after the investigation is complete.”
