SAVANNAH, GA (October 14, 2011): A 17-year-old Savannah man arrested after a three-hour standoff with Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police is being charged with murder and aggravated assault.
Anthony Ingram surrendered to Criminal Investigation detectives, SCMPD SWAT and Neighborhood Task Force, Patrol and Canine officers at a house in the 1100 block of East 58th Street about 1:30 p.m. Friday.
He is charged with shooting Timothy Bostic, 19, who lives in the Stiles Avenue area, and a 20-year-old man in a boarded-up area of Frazier Homes on Emerald Street.
Bostic underwent emergency surgery at Memorial University Medical Center where he is recovering. The other victim, who has not been identified pending family notification in another state, was declared dead at the hospital.
The investigation led detectives to the 58th Street address where they attempted to talk to Ingram. When he refused to open the door they had the house surrounded and obtained a search warrant. Ingram then yielded to requests to exit the house and surrender.
Police had been called to West Broad Court in Frazier Homes off MLK Jr. Boulevard about 12:30 a.m. to find Bostic with a gunshot wound. He said a man he referred to as his brother also had been shot in a boarded-up apartment of Frazier Homes.
After canvassing the area, Downtown Precinct patrol officers found the other man in one of the apartments with similar wounds.
The investigation into the shootings is continuing. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crimestoppers at (912) 234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637).
