Update, 10:20 a.m.: The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office now says that investigators are not sure whether O’Jarrion Griffin is the suspect in this morning’s chase.

“Throughout the continued investigation this morning the Montgomery County Criminal Investigations Division has determined that the suspect identity cannot be positively determined at this time,” Delaney said in a news release.

Griffin is still a suspect in the June 4 homicide in Clarksville.

Update, 5:50 a.m.: The suspect has been identified as O’Jarrion Griffin, a 16-year-old suspect in an active homicide case in Clarksville. He is still at large and should be considered armed and dangerous, Delaney said.

Griffin is wanted in the June 4 slaying of 23-year-old Wylil Alexander of Clarksville.

Alexander had met with Griffin and another teen that afternoon, according to previous reports. After a brief discussion, Alexander tried to flee and was shot, police said. Police found her in a red sedan that crashed on Parkway Place, and she died from her injuries.

One teen, a 14-year-old, was arrested Monday, and police have been looking for Griffin ever since.

Law enforcement remains in the area behind Veterans Plaza while this situation is being investigated.
