A Savannah man who police say told them he had shot another man who was trying to rob him on St. Patrick’s Day has been arrested and charged with the shooting as well as lying to authorities.
Darrell Lamar Walker, 19, was arrested by members of the U.S. Marshals Service Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force on Tuesday morning on information provided by a violent crimes detective of the Savannah-Chatham police department and metro’s Savannah Area Regional Intelligence Center.
He is charged with the shooting of a 20-year-old man at Price Street and East Henry Street Lane on March 17, said Julian Miller, metro police spokesman.
The victim was found in the lane about 4:30 p.m. and transported to Memorial University Medical Center in critical but stable condition.
Metro detectives have charged Walker with criminal attempt murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm in commission of a crime and providing false statements and writings to a law enforcement officer, Miller said.
