A sixth person has been charged with murder in the death last month of a Barrow County woman.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced that a murder warrant had been issued for Carolina Jazmin Rodriguez-Ramirez, 28, of Oklahoma, for her involvement in the mid-April murder of 37-year-old Bethlehem resident Rossana Delgado.
On May 16, three more suspects were arrested on murder charges in Mexico, according to the GBI. They were identified as Megan Alyssa Colone, 30, of Stone Mountain, Oscar Manuel Garcia, 26, of Austell and Juan Antonio Vega, 25 of Cobb County.
Following their arrests, the suspects were transported to detention facilities in Texas, where they remain pending extradition to Georgia.
The GBI has not released a motive for Delgado’s murder.
Authorities said Delgado was last seen alive April 16 in DeKalb County.
The woman was the mother of two children who worked for a taxi service in Gwinnett County, according to the Barrow County Sheriff's Office, which said the woman’s husband reported her missing on April 17.
The husband reportedly tracked Delgado’s phone to a location near Chamblee, where he also found a blood-stained mask.
The GBI said the Gilmer County Sheriff’s Office found Delgado's body 10 days later during a welfare check at a home in the Cherry Log community.
Still at large as of Tuesday were murder suspects Juan Ayala-Rodriguez, 35, of Gainesville, and Mario Alberto Barbosa-Juarez, 29, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
They, along with Rodriguez-Ramirez were believed to be in Mexico, the GBI said
