A man suspected of shooting two teenage boys and killing one of them, a 13-year-old, on Jan. 29 in Bedford was located and arrested in Martinez, Georgia on Feb. 9, according to Bedford Police.
A collaborative effort between the Bedford Police Department, the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force, the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, and the Columbia County Sheriff’s Department led to the suspect being identified as David Hardin III, officials said.
On the evening of Jan. 29, Bedford Police arrived at Corkhill Road and Lee Road South to learn that a 15-year-old and 13-year-old had been shot and transported to a nearby hospital for treatment, according to police. The 13-year-old died from his injuries.
Georgia officials are in the beginning stages of the extradition process and anticipate providing more details on Monday.
