Grandmother says she's turning in grandson wanted for murder

HENRY COUNTY, Ga. — A woman told Channel 2's Tom Jones she is taking her grandson, who's wanted for murder in Henry County, to the police station to turn himself in.

Police have been searching for Lonnie Reed, who they consider armed and dangerous.

Reed, 29, is accused of shooting and killing his friend Ladell Williams, 33, during a fight on Tunis Road in Stockbridge June 15.

Some friends rushed Williams to the hospital, where he died.

"We heard gunshots and the next day we pull up and we saw the police officers and that's when they asked us about the gunshots," a neighbor said.

Police said they didn't show up until the next day because they didn't initially believe the shooting took place in their jurisdiction.

"We initially thought the shooting happened over in Clayton County," said Joey Smith with Henry County police.

Neighbors said Reed lived in the home with his grandmother.

After seeing our story, Reed's grandmother called Jones to tell him she was taking her grandson to the police department to turn him in.
