A 20-year-old man surrendered to authorities Friday in Macon in connection with a shooting death the day before, Bibb County Sheriff David Davis said.

De’Andre Malik Thomas, 20, allegedly was captured on surveillance video that showed the shooting of Kareem Mano, 25, the Macon Telegraph reported.

The men argued about a cellphone Thomas allegedly sold the sister of Mano’s girlfriend, according to a deputy’s report.

At the time of the shooting, Thomas was free on bond in connection with a robbery in April, the newspaper reported. Thomas and another man were charged with armed robbery, false imprisonment and carrying weapons on school grounds in connection with an incident at student apartments on the Mercer University campus.
