Black Student Who Fatally Shot Girl In Vehicle That Was Pursuing Him, Has Been Denied Bond

Recently we reported that William Marcus “Marc” Wilson, an astounding student with no prior history, turned himself in for fatally shooting a Statesboro girl who was in a car that was pursuing him.

Wilson, the son of Coweta County fire chief, was charged with murder and aggravated assault in the death of 17-year-old Haley Hutcheson. The judge denied bond despite Marcus voluntarily surrendering himself into the police station. He says that he only shot at the vehicle because the driver and other occupants were yelling racist remarks and tried to drive him and his girlfriend off the road.

According to the Statesboro Herald, a detective testified that Wilson told him,

“All I can tell you is me and my girlfriend were really scared that night .With everything going on in this country, I’m not going to let me and my girl get run off the road.”
