A Paulding County teenager is now confined to a cell after authorities say he gunned down his mother's boyfriend. The fatal encounter occurred just after dusk last Friday, according to FOX 5 Atlanta, setting off a sequence of events that would leave 31-year-old Anthony Brown lifeless, and 17-year-old Javar Summerhour behind bars.
Deputies descending upon the home on Westend Way in Hiram stumbled upon a scene of domestic-induced violence. They found Brown's body, while the suspect had already taken flight from the crime scene. A collaborative effort between the suspect's family and the authorities led to Summerhour's arrest, as mentioned by 11Alive. He is detained at the Paulding County Jail, his freedom forfeited as he awaits the next steps of judicial proceedings.
The details of the dispute that led to gunfire are still unclear as the investigation continues. Authorities emphasize that no argument or family issue justifies violence. They're now focused on uncovering the truth and are asking anyone with information to come forward. Tips can be shared by calling the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office Tip Line or through their official mobile app.
