Lacerenza is accused pointing a firearm at a victim on the 4000 block of Gallo Street, the sheriff’s office said. The suspect then fled in a black Dodge pickup truck with the license tag “GAJC09.”

Deputies said Lacerenza is armed with a small black semi-automatic handgun.

It’s unclear when the domestic violence incident occurred.
