ATLANTA,None — A man has come forward in a deadly shooting outside a funeral gathering last Friday afternoon.
Police said the victim was pelted by bullets as she drove away from an argument with other funeral-goers. The killing went unsolved for a week, but 27-year-old Kelvin Bradley turned himself in Friday morning.
Man Surrenders In Funeral Gathering Killing
The victim, Tomika Webb, went to a funeral for Keith Jacobs to confront someone, Atlanta police Detective Jarvis Jackson said. Afterward, a gathering was held at a home on Addison Place in Atlanta. Jacobs was shot in the head in front of the same home a week before.
Police said an altercation between Webb and a group of people standing outside escalated into gunfire. She began to drive away but was unable to dodge the bullets.
"Whoever killed her knew they could kill her. She's defenseless. She had no weapon. She didn't know to tote no weapon on her," Webb's sister, Ganell, said.
A bullet pierced Webb's roof, one went through her trunk, and another shattered a window and killed her, police said. Jackson said despite a reward, several people saw the shooter and never said a word.
But police think they now have their man. Bradley was charged with murder and taken to the Fulton County Jail.
