The suspect in Wednesday's early morning shooting has been found and arrested. Rodney Barnes is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of his girlfriend, Chackawanda Moore Beard. The two were involved in a conflict at their home on Northern Street, during which the 35-year-old, mother of six was shot. Beard fled from the home with her children to a neighbor's house where she died on the porch from a single gunshot to the neck.
In an unrelated shooting, 26-year-old Lester Fisher Jr. was arrested for three counts of attempted murder after firing shots at the intersection of Rowena and 6th Street yesterday. One victim, Damrio Davis was "knicked" on his leg, but was not seriously injured. Fisher is also charged with four counts of criminal damage to property, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and illegal carrying of a weapon.
