According to the Statesboro Herald, William Marcus Wilson,21, turned himself last Wednesday afternoon for the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Haley Hutcheson in Statesboro. After news of the arrest, Hutcheson’s mother posted the following status on her Facebook page. She says in the now-deleted post: “My white daughter was shot and KILLED by this black man who chased her down in a MOVING vehicle. When we gonna say start saying that white lives matter??? When will we see an uproar in the media about this??? Stay tuned #JusticeforHaley.”
Witnesses say Wilson and his girlfriend Emma were in a parking lot when Hutchenson and a group of friends started to harass the couple. Apparently they called his girlfriend a “n**** lover.” The couple is reported to have entered their vehicle to avoid any confrontation and Hutchenson’s friends followed them while screaming the n-word and tried to run them off of Veteran’s Memorial Parkway near Fair Road. Allegedly, Wilson fired a warning shot from his car so the teens could leave the couple alone. Unfortunately, Hutchenson was fatally wounded at the scene.
