A 19 year old man wanted in the shooting death of 8 year old Secoriea Turner has turned himself in to Atlanta police, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
Secoriea was shot and killed on July 4 while riding in a car with her mother and her mother’s friend. Her family told police they were trying to turn around near a protest site on University Avenue when an armed group confronted the vehicle and shots were fired.
The Atlanta Police Department issued a warrant for Julian, 19, on charges of aggravated assault and felony murder, according to department spokesman Anthony W. Grant. Bond was denied.
Julian reportedly told Fox 5’s Angelique Proctor that he was at the scene and was carrying a gun, but said he did not pull the trigger. His attorney, Jackie Patterson, said his client saw the shooting but does not know who fired the fatal shot. Charges are allegations, and Julian has not been convicted of anything.
Secoriea’s death has been mourned across Atlanta, and we are keeping her family in our thoughts.
