Two teenagers were arrested on murder charges Thursday in the shooting of a 19-year-old last month at a west Georgia house party, deputies said.
Bowdon police responded to the shooting on Angela Drive early Nov. 22 and discovered the body of 19-year-old Christopher Parker, the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post.
“Based on witness statements, a party was occurring at the residence when shots were fired between a group of individuals outside,” deputies said.
Two of the suspects were identified as Cameron Allen and Jadarakis “JD” Caldwell, both 18, but they managed to flee a traffic stop shortly after the shooting and had been on the run for nearly a month, investigators said. A third man, 20-year-old Odarian Bailey, was arrested during the stop and charged with murder.
U.S. marshals located Allen and Caldwell in Atlanta on Thursday and both were charged with murder, felony murder and aggravated assault, online records show. They’re being held at the Carroll County Jail without bond.
Parker’s funeral service was held Dec. 1 at the Bowdon High School gym, according to his online obituary.
“The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank all the agencies who assisted in the capture of these individuals and ask the community to continue to pray for Christopher Parker’s family who are facing this Christmas season without their loved one,” deputies wrote in the Facebook post.
