2 men arrested in violent carjacking of construction worker

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Only Channel 2 Action News was there as DeKalb County school police searched an apartment for evidence after they arrested two men and charged them with a carjacking and break-ins.

Police tracked two of the suspects, Cortez Butler, 20, and David Stamps, 18, to some apartments off Candler Road.

Investigators are looking for a third suspect.

A woman who had her truck broken into outside a day care believes she was one of their victims.

That woman told Channel 2 Action News she went inside the Candy Cane Learning Center on Monday to drop her child off when surveillance video shows a gray Mercedes with tinted windows pulled up next to her truck.

That’s when the people inside jumped into her car and stole her 3-year-old’s tablet, as well as other items.

A short time later, police believe the same crew dragged a construction worker during a carjacking in front of Panola Way Elementary School.
