Suspect In Primatologist Shooting Surrenders

One More Suspect Sought

Saturday, March 4, 2006

A suspect in the shooting of primatologist Shelly Williams turned himself in to Smyrna police Saturday, officials said.

Kendall M. Bolden, 23, of Nashville, Tenn., arrived at police headquarters with his attorney at 2 p.m.

Williams was paralyzed from the waist down after she was caught in the crossfire of a botched drug deal in a strip mall parking lot on Nov. 7, police said.

Bolden was identified as the driver of a white pick-up truck seen leaving the area after the shooting.

Another suspect, Elliott Mitchell, 24, is in a South Carolina prison on other charges.

A third man, Terrance Reid, 33, of Charlotte, N.C., is still being sought.

Williams is being treated at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta.

She told a news conference Friday that the shooting ruined her professional life.

"I've dedicated 22 years to my research and now I won't be able to finish it and that hurts," Williams said.
