Final suspect arrested in deadly Ft. Benning Road shooting
COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL) – The last suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of 39-year-old William Brown back on Jan. 8 and Columbus Police released additional details pointing to the suspect being involved in two other crimes.
Jovan Green, the sixth suspect connected to the deadly shooting was arrested by the Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office on Friday. That’s within 24 hours since the last three suspects connected to the shooting were arrested.
Javon Green was taken into custody on Pembrook Drive in Columbus and turned over to Columbus Police. The police department says that during the investigation into Brown’s murder, CPD’s violent crime unit looked into other cases and found that Green was involved in two other crimes.
Sergeant D. Baker who police say was assigned to a case involving an elderly woman being robbed on March 7, determined that Green participated in the incident and obtained warrants for robbery and financial transaction card fraud.
Sergeant R. Vardman with CPD took on a case where a juvenile female was physically assaulted while working at the McDonald’s located on Buena Vista Road. Green was eventually identified as the suspect and warrants for Cruelty to Children and Battery were obtained.
Following Green’s arrest, CPD says he has a preliminary hearing set for April 24 at 9 a.m.
