America’s Most Wanted is set to air a segment this weekend featuring an Atlanta fugitive who went on the lam after murdering his estranged wife in her Riverdale apartment last year.
According to Fox 5 News, Wisdom Jeffery remains at large after shooting Corrissa Friends to death at the Chateau Phase II apartments at 6603 Church St on August 11, 2010.
Corrissa’s brief marriage to Jeffery was an abusive one. Riverdale Police Chief Samuel Patterson said Corrissa moved around Atlanta several times to get away from Jeffery.
The 21-year-old nursing student feared for her life when she called 911 to report a domestic dispute the day before she was killed.
But when police arrived they found no evidence of violence in the apartment. Since his name was not on the lease Jeffery was asked to leave, which he did.
But on the morning of August 11, 2010, Jeffery returned to the apartment with a shotgun and shot Corissa 3 times — twice in the abdomen and once in the back. Corrissa was able to dial 911 before she collapsed and died.
Jeffery left Corrissa’s 9-month-old daughter Casey with relatives in New York after the slaying.

Acting on a tip, police stormed a house in Clayton County on August 12, 2010 searching for Jeffery only to come up empty.
Units from Riverdale Police, the Clayton County Fugitive Squad and U.S Marshals participated in the raid at a residence in the High Grove subdivision off Flat Shoals Road.
Since then there have been no reported sightings of Jeffery. Police initially concentrated their search efforts in the Riverdale, GA and New York areas where Jeffery has friends and family.
But the AMW segment will take the search for Jeffery nationwide.
Wisdom Jeffery is a black male, 5 ft 11in and 185 lbs. He is considered armed and dangerous.
Jeffery was known in the music industry scene in Atlanta. He was close friends with R&B singer Keyshia Cole and her then manager, Manny Halley. Cole and Manny parted ways professionally last year.
