No Bond for Soldier's Alleged Killer

A Fulton County judge has denied bond for the man who allegedly shot and killed an army reservist who was helping the homeless in Midtown.

Harold Dodson, 21, will remain in jail until he stands trial for the Sept. 1 murder of Sgt. Atting Eminue, a Nigerian native and father who had served three tours of duty in Afghanistan.

Eminue was walking with a friend to his car near the Peachtree-Pine shelter early that morning when he was shot following an altercation. Eminue’s family told WSB-TV that he was giving shoes away to the homeless when he was killed.

An Atlanta police report said that Eminue was shot multiple times, while the woman he was with was shot once in the leg and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.

Dodson was arrested on Oct. 23 and has been charged with murder, felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, aggravated assault, and two probation violations.
