3. A teenager in Fulton County wanted in connection to the deadly shooting of his aunt's boyfriend has turned himself in. Jamari "PeeWee" Marable turned himself in and was booked into Fulton County jail for charges of murder, possession of a firearm, and cruelty to children. According to police, a 12-year-old witnessed the shooting. The incident occurred on May 23 at the Dunwoody Pointe Apartments in Sandy Springs. "He is a high school student and that is why we are working hard to try and talk to him. We don't want him to continue on this path. If he didn't choose it and he was defending, we need to know that," Sgt. M. H. McGinnis explained. (Fox 5)
