Deputies in Douglas County, Georgia are looking for a man they say murdered his ex-girlfriend on Friday.
Douglas County Sheriff Tim Pounds said in a news conference on Monday that 34-year-old Harold Dakers is accused of the murder of 29-year-old Kaleshia Lyons.
Pounds says, at the time of the murder, Dakers was out on bond on charges related to Lyons in a neighboring county. He did not comment on what those charges are.
After the incident with Dakers, Lyons moved from Carrollton to her grandmother’s Lithia Springs home, where she was killed.
Lyons was home alone at the time of the murder, Pounds said.
Her cause of death has been determined to be blunt force trauma to the face and head, the sheriff confirmed.
The sheriff says they have reason to believe Dakers is still in the area, but do not think he is a danger to anyone but himself, and possibly law enforcement.
Dakers was arrested in June in Villa Rica after he allegedly choked a woman to unconsciousness, stole her Apple Watch and raped her before allowing her to leave. He was charged with rape, aggravated assault, false imprisonment and theft by taking.
Villa Rice police say because of the rape charge, they are unable to confirm if these charges are the ones Dakers was out on bond for at the time of Lyons’ murder.
