[Editors note: Normally the Courier does not print the names of suspects or defendants unless and until and unless a conviction or guilty plea results. In this case police are actively seeking a suspect in a serious crime, so we make an exception to our rule]

Marietta police say 18-year old Keondre Robinson of Mableton faces charges of first-degree vehicular homicide, driving under the influence (drugs) and reckless driving.

The homicide charge is a felony while the other two are considered misdemeanors.

Authorities say Robinson was driving  on Powder Springs Street near Laurel Lane when he entered the southbound lanes and hit a Chevy Silverado head-on. The driver of the Silverado, 32-year-old Santiago Zarate-Vicente of Chicago was killed.

Two passengers in the Silverado and the driver of the Lexus were taken to the hospital with what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.

Police are trying to locate Robinson and say anyone who knows where he is or has additional information on the crash is asked to call Marietta Police at 770-794-5266
