Alcido Jasper Barmore, was the first suspect arrested during the investigation into the murder of Patrick Witter Ballew.
His arrest was the result of the execution of a warrant by the Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office at a location in Columbus, GA for another person. Barmore was found in the location where the subject fled. Coweta County Investigators assisted in the execution of the warrant.
It is believed that drugs recovered from the location were packaged in a manner that matched the drugs found in the victim’s van.
