Wilson self-surrendered with his attorney after detectives issued arrest warrants on Tuesday, police said, according to WTGS.

Hutcheson was shot and killed by a person in another vehicle as she traveled in a vehicle on Veterans Memorial Parkway near Fair Road in Statesboro about 12:45 a.m. Sunday, police said. She was a student at Claxton High School and a resident of Bellville.

“This investigation benefited tremendously from information provided to detectives by persons in the community,” Akins said. “As with most cases, the public’s cooperation was a vital element in ensuring a timely resolution to this homicide.”
