Estranged husband Dondrelle Moultire sought in shooting death of Melanie McQueen-Moultrie
Police say a woman was killed after shots were fired into her vehicle on Feb. 11, 2013

Police are searching for a man who they believe shot and killed his estranged wife as she was driving in southwest Atlanta.

The shooting occurred on Emerald Court around 5:30 p.m. Neighbors reported hearing eight shots.

The Atlanta Police Department says they are looking for Dondrelle Moultire in connection with the shooting death of his wife.



According to detectives, the woman was driving away from her home in a red car when someone driving a teal Silverado truck pulled up along side and fired several shots into her car. The victim's car then slammed into a brick mailbox.

The woman died of the gunshots, police believe.

Neighbors say their community is a quiet one, and could not believe what happened. One neighbor called the victim a "quiet lady."

Police believe Moultrie is driving a 2008 teal-colored Silverado with a Georgia tag: BCQ8516. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to call 911 or the Atlanta Police Homicide Unit at 404-546-4235.
