Secoriea Turner Murder Suspect to Surrender to Police

Julian Conley denies involvement in the Atlanta shooting, but admitted his presence at the scene near where Rayshard Brooks died during a police stop.

A suspect in the murder of Secoriea Turner, the 8-year-old girl who was shot to death in Atlanta on July 4 near the scene of the Rayshard Brooks killing, is expected to surrender to Atlanta police Wednesday afternoon. Nineteen-year-old Julian Conley was informed at 8 a.m. Wednesday that he has formally been charged in Turner’s death, and he has also been charged with aggravated assault in connection with the case. “When you have a warrant out, you have to turn yourself in,” Conley said. “So that’s what we are going to do.” Wednesday’s announcement came just an hour before Turner’s funeral. Conley on Monday denied involvement in the shooting, but admitted that he was present at the scene where protests against police had been gathering.
