ALBANY — Dougherty County law enforcement agencies are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying suspects in a Thursday slaying and in making arrests in a number of other cases.

Rossini Jones, 24, was fatally shot at a location near the Waffle House in the 100 block of West Oglethorpe Boulevard while he and Alonzo Wright, 24, were reportedly driving in a 2016 Honda Accord, Albany police said. Wright, 24, was struck in the hip by a bullet during the assault.

Investigators are asking anyone with information to call Albany Area Crime Stoppers at (229) 436-TIPS (8477) or the Albany Police Department at (229) 431-2100.

Among a group of most wanted persons identified by the Dougherty County Sheriff’s Office was a Lee County woman believed to be part of a burglary ring that has operated here and in other counties in the area. The sheriff’s list includes suspects being sought by several law enforcement agencies.

Logan Alexus Avera is wanted by the Dougherty County Police Department on charges of burglary, criminal attempt to commit burglary and gangs/unlawful activity.

Avera is accused in a rash of recent break-ins of storage units and participating in a street gang that has been carrying out those burglaries, a police spokesman said. A number of other suspects in the theft ring have been arrested in other jurisdictions.

Other fugitives and the pending charges include:
