Suspect Arrested In Norcross Home Invasion Shooting

Gwinnett County police released details of the subject arrested in an alleged home invasion that took place in Norcross in the earlier hours of yesterday morning. He is now in police custody at the Gwinnett County Detention Center.

According to Gwinnett County Police Department public information officer, Cpl. Jake Smith, Paul Reshaud Tolbert, 19, was taken into custody last night without incident. The location where Tolbert was arrested was search and, according to Smith, turned up evidence of Tolbert’s involvement in the crime. He has been charged with aggravated assault, armed robbery and possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime.

The victim, Xavier Lawrence Dozier-Jourbert, 19, who was shot in the head – just above the eyes - is expected to survive his injuries.

Officers originally responded to the location where the 911 call originated, which was a residence a short distance away on Pirkle Road. That was where they found the victim who had managed to drive himself to the secondary location from where the 911 call was placed. Dozier told police had been robbed and shot in his own residence at the Oakbrook Pointe Apartments an hour or more earlier. Officers provided first aid and Dozier was transported by ambulance to a local hospital.

According to the report, uniform officers contacted detectives and responded to the Oakbrook Pointe Apartments. They located and secured the crime scene and held it for processing. Detectives met Dozier at the hospital and interviewed him and he was able to provide some information on his attacker. The investigation led detectives to a suspect living in the same apartment building.
