Cecil McCrary admits to killing and burying missing Tange Davis-Hutti after release from jail for assaulting her
MABLETON, Ga. — A Cobb County man who was out on pretrial release for domestic violence charges is now accused of killing and burying his girlfriend, 45-year-old Tange Davis-Hutti, after she was reported missing earlier this month.
According to the Cobb County Police Department (CCPD), Davis-Hutti’s family and friends had been searching for her since October 9, when she was last seen and heard from. Their efforts intensified after she failed to make contact for several days.
Authorities became involved on October 11, when Cobb County’s 911 dispatch center received a call concerning her disappearance.
Officers responded to the Lidl grocery store on Floyd Road in Mableton, where they met with Davis-Hutti’s son. He had used OnStar technology to locate his mother’s vehicle in the parking lot.
During the initial investigation, Cecil McCrary, Davis-Hutti’s boyfriend, arrived at the scene.
He told officers that the last time he saw her was when she left his home on October 9.
McCrary provided investigators with surveillance footage showing Davis-Hutti leaving his residence that day.
Police subsequently entered Davis-Hutti into the national database as a missing person, and CCPD’s Major Crimes Unit took over the case.
Meanwhile, family and friends launched their own search efforts, documenting their attempts on social media.
In several posts, they expressed growing suspicion toward McCrary, noting that he had failed to appear for a scheduled meeting with them and referencing prior issues in the couple’s relationship.
As public concern grew, Cobb County Police issued a Be On the Lookout (BOLO) alert for Davis-Hutti on social media on Tuesday.
Only hours after the alert was shared, McCrary was taken into custody.
During questioning, police said McCrary confessed to killing Davis-Hutti and admitted to burying her body on a property located within the City of Atlanta.
CCPD immediately notified the Atlanta Police Department, and both agencies responded to the undisclosed location, where they discovered Davis-Hutti’s remains.
Investigators revealed that Cobb County officers had responded to multiple prior domestic violence incidents involving McCrary and Davis-Hutti.
At the time of his arrest, McCrary was out on pretrial release for kidnapping and aggravated assault charges connected to previous domestic violence offenses.
McCrary is now in custody and facing additional charges related to Davis-Hutti’s death. The investigation remains ongoing.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
