Michael D. Parson, Manhunt under way for husband of shooting victim

Sandy Springs police are on a manhunt to find the husband of a local attoey who was shot eight times.

They said Michael Parson is on the run and he is involved in the shooting of his wife Adina Parson.

Family and friends of Adina Parson, 40, met with Channel 2's Craig Lucie at Grady Memorial Hospital Friday night, where he immediately asked them about the warrants issued for Michael Parson.

"Did it ever occur to you that he could be the main suspect?" Lucie asked.

"No. Amazed. I was just surprised. Shocked is the word," answered Adina Parson's aunt, Pam Dickerson.

Dickerson said Michael Parson visited his wife on multiple occasions after she was shot eight times in the breezeway at the Residences of Morgan Falls Apartments off Roswell Road April 20. Three of those shots were to the head.

"What was he like when he came to visit her here at the hospital?" Lucie asked.

"As a husband should be. He is conceed about his wife. You would believe he is overwhelmed with pain because it's just your wife," Dickerson replied.

Capt. Steve Rose with the Sandy Springs Police Department said they initially cleared Parson after the shooting, but detectives kept going back and finding different things that he wouldn't go into detail about.

"No one has seen him for the last couple of day. A lot of that information I can't go into but initially, yes, but this type of investigation, everything is scrutinized and things developed. The investigation has revealed some interesting facts. Again, I can't go into that, but some very interesting facts came forth," Rose said.

Dickerson used GA Daily News' camera to speak to the man who's wanted for something they could have never imagined.

"I'm going to offer some prayers to him and his family. I originally said somebody who did this to my niece had to be very full of pain," Dickerson said.

She said Adina Parson is starting to move her arms and legs, but she is still in critical but stable condition. She is also unable to speak.

Sandy Springs police believe Michael Parson is in their 2000 green Honda Civic with Georgia tag 527-XCS.

There's a $14,500 reward for information leading to his arrest.

Anyone with information in this case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
