Jail documents show a third suspect, Nicholas Hendrickson, was arrested on Nov. 25 and charged with concealing the death of another, false statements, hindering apprehension or punishment of a criminal and tampering with evidence.

In September, police arrested Diante Reynolds and charged him with murder, concealing the death of another, financial identity fraud, forgery in the first degree, tampering with evidence, and possession of a controlled substance in schedule I or II with intent to distribute.

Police told Channel 2 Action News they are still searching for 29-year-old Steven Oboite, who they said is also a suspect in the incident. Oboite has a warrant for felony murder and concealing the death of another.

Atlanta police believe Lenoir died inside a unit at Peachtree Midtown Apartments.

Court documents accuse Oboite and Reynolds of giving Lenior an opiate and failing to call 911 while “Lenior suffered medical distress.”

In August, Channel 2 Action News spoke with Jannette Jackson, Lenoir’s mother.

“Nobody deserves to just disappear,” said Jackson. “Every day is getting harder obviously because the reality of time not being on my side or my daughter’s side is hurting — is painful,” Jackson told Channel 2 Action News. “All I know is that they said she was ID-ed coming in but not coming out.”

The Atlanta Police Department said the investigation is still ongoing and anyone with any information is asked to contact the police department.

“Our ultimate goal is to locate the body of Allahnia and be able to provide closure for this grieving family,” Major Peter Malecki said.
