Suspect charged in the slaying of 8-year-old girl Secoriea Turner near Atlanta Wendy's, police say
Suspect charged in the slaying of 8-year-old girl Secoriea Turner near Atlanta Wendy's, police say
A suspect was charged with felony murder and aggravated assault in the shooting that killed an 8-year-old girl near the site of a police shooting.
Police issued warrants Tuesday for Julian Conley, 19, in the slaying of Secoriea Turner, police spokesman Anthony Grant said.
Conley’s attorney, Jackie Patterson, said Conley was peacefully protesting and witnessed the shooting but did not fire himself, though he was armed.
“It is no doubt this comes as a shock,” he said. “Why would you want to charge a man who saw a crime but did not participate in a criminal act? Police would have a better chance at winning the lottery than getting a conviction on my client.”
