GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Two of three teens charged with murder in a deadly Gwinnett County shooting are now in custody, including a 17-year-old who turned herself in after a SWAT team raided her Norcross-area apartment building, police say.
Adrianna Rose Upcher, 17, turned herself in hours after SWAT officers searched her home at 4350 Jimmy Carter Boulevard near Norcross on Friday.
Yostin Valentin Lopez Gomez, 19, was found in Augusta. Police are still searching for Elvins Orlando Ramos De Leon, 18.
“He is expected to be armed and dangerous,” said Officer Brock Marks of the Gwinnett County Police Department.

Luis Mario Munoz Ortiz, 21, of Norcross, was shot and killed outside an apartment building on Preston Lake Drive near Tucker the evening of Sunday, Oct. 11.
Arrest warrants say Lopez Gomez drove the other suspects to the Capella Apartments, where Upcher and Ramos De Leon jumped out of a car and shot Munoz Ortiz.
All three are charged with malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault. Upcher and Ramos De Leon also face a gun charge.
Joy Goode lives downstairs and was outside with her son when SWAT arrived to serve a search warrant.
An officer on a bullhorn ordered her inside, where she put her three other children in a closet.
“I did hear them go upstairs; I heard them knock the door off the hinge,” Goode said. “And they weren’t playing.”
Goode said she is relieved police are making arrests, but she hopes everyone involved can find peace.
“Nobody wins,” Goode said. “Somebody died, then somebody’s locked up, and we’re talking about teenagers.”
