A convicted felon who spent time in prison for terrorizing women across metro Atlanta is back behind bars, accused of murdering a 5-year-old girl.

The murder of 5-year-old Savannah Adams broke the hearts of Atlanta police investigators including Capt. D'Andrea Price, who responded to a southwest Atlanta home Sunday night after getting reports of an injured child.

“It was a horrible death. I actually didn’t sleep that well that night from seeing her,” Price said. “You could basically see the visible bruising to her body and her face.”
The family member who found Savannah dead in her bed told police she was at work and had left the little girl with her boyfriend Ethan Gathright, 22.

Gathright, a convicted felon who served time in prison after he was convicted for a string of violent robberies targeting women across DeKalb and Fulton counties, didn’t wait around but police eventually caught up with him, arresting him on a gun charge.

He's now charged with murder.
The state Department of Pardons and Paroles sent Seiden a statement, saying:
“On the five year prison portion of his sentence he became parole eligible (by law according to his sentence) on April 19, 2016. He served another 2 years in prison before being granted parole in May of 2018, having served 75% of his prison sentence before being granted parole. He discharged parole ending the five year prison sentence on August 19, 2019. He then began serving the probation portion of his sentence.”

The second suspect in an Aug. 4 assault and carjacking in the Phipps Plaza parking lot is now in custody, authorities say.

WSB-TV reports that 17-year-old Ethan Gathright was arrested on Tuesday in DeKalb County by the U.S. Marshal's Counter Gang Unit. He joins his alleged co-conspirator, 17-year-old Steven Spinger, who was arrested on Aug. 14.
Just after midnight on Aug. 4, a woman was returning to her car from the Twist Restaurant and Tapas Bar in Buckhead's Phipps Plaza shopping mall when she was accosted by two black males, now thought to be Spinger and Gathright.
The two then proceeded to attack the woman, beating her to the ground while demanding the keys to her 2007 silver BMW 5 Series. One of the assailants allegedly threatened to "f***ing shoot" the woman if she did not comply.

Once they got the woman's keys and her purse, the two men sped off in the BMW and were last seen heading west on Peachtree Road. The car was recovered in Stone Mountain earlier this month.

To the relative who left Savannah with this monster he let you know exactly who he was and you failed this little angel.

You can't say you could not believe he would ever hurt anyone because he has
“I’m so sad for this mother and this child but at the same time, I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the spotlight is going to be shown on how broken the system is,” said Laura King, one of Gathright’s victims.

King told Channel 2’s Michael Seiden that she can still remember her first encounter with the now- accused killer. It happened in July 2014.

“He and one other person beat me in a parking lot in Target in the middle of the day and tried to run me over with my car and kill me,” King said.

The following month, there was another vicious assault and carjacking outside the Tavern at Phipps Plaza.

Police say Gathright was part of a crew that punched a woman several times in the face before stealing her car.
