A suspect Statesboro Police were looking for in connection with a shooting last week on Bobby Donaldson Avenue turned himself in Sunday.

Statesboro Police Capt. Jared Akins said in a release Monday that Akeino Dickerson surrendered himself to the Screven County Sheriff's Office. He was transported to the Bulloch County Jail, where he awaits further judicial action.

Dickerson faces multiple charges for an incident Oct. 23 when SPD officers were called to the area of Bobby Donaldson Ave. in Statesboro about 8:50 p.m. for reports that a woman had been shot.

"Officers located the 24-year-old female victim and rendered aid until she could be transported by EMS to East Georgia Regional Medical Center," Akins wrote in the release. "The victim was later flown to Memorial (Hospital) in Savannah, where she was treated and released."

Investigating at the scene of the shooting, detectives determined that the woman was shot by Dickerson, her former boyfriend.

A search warrant was served at Dickerson's Bobby Donaldson Ave. residence by SPD's SWAT team and "vital evidence was recovered by detectives in the subsequent search," Akins said. 

Dickerson, 41, was not found at that location but turned himself in Sunday.

He is charged with aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during commission of a crime, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of cocaine. 

Anyone with information on the case is requested to contact Statesboro Police Senior Detective Ben Purvis at (912) 764-9911.
