Police put out a “be on the lookout” for Gunsby on Monday afternoon. LaGrange police arrested him shortly after 11 p.m. on Monday.

Washington talked to Mike Merideth with the NAACP of Troup County, who said he and other members assisted the Gunsby family with the surrender.

“We got a call from the family,” Merideth said. “It was orderly. There was a lot of emotions and a lot of family support.”

Washington asked Lt. Mark Cavender with the LaGrange Police Department what Gunsby’s motivation could have been.

“I know they were familiar with each other. There exact relationship I can’t really comment on at this time, but they were familiar,” Cavendar said. “We know there are other parties involved in this.”

Police said they are looking for another suspect in the case, but didn’t realise details.
