A man turns himself in for the Vernon Forrest murder and get this he was already on bond for another charge.
Demario Ware, 20, on Tuesday turned himself in to the Fulton County District Attorney’s office, police spokesman Officer James Polite said. Charges against Ware include murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery. At the time of Forrest’s robbery and murder, Ware was on bond for a March arrest in which he faced charges of obstruction of a police officer and several counts of criminal trespassing and entering an auto, jail officials said.
Forrest’s friend and manager Charles Watson said this arrest wasn’t enough. “I want them to catch all of them,” Watson said. “It’s bittersweet.” Long-time mentor and early boxing coach Al Mitchell said he was confident police will catch all the suspects. “Once they get one, I guarantee they’ll find the others,” said Mitchell. “They need to give all of them the [electric] chair.” Forrest was killed on the night of July 26 when he chased an armed robber from a convenience store on Whitehall Street in southwest Atlanta. The robber took Forrest’s gold and diamond “4X World Champion” ring and a Rolex watch, then the 38-year-old boxer pulled a gun on the robber, police said.
Too many senseless killings. See how this man was already on bond, do you feel the justice system failed to keep him behind bars?
