ACCD probes shooting, reports another gang arrest

Athens-Clarke County Police continue their investigation into a shooting that happened on Elkview Drive: that’s off Jefferson River Road in Athens. A 28 year-old man was taken to a local hospital for treatment of what were described as non-life threatening injuries. There was no immediate word from police on suspects or motive.

Athens-Clarke County Police say the 19th suspected gang member arrested since December is a teenager who was out on bond on burglary charges. Markeith Martin is 19 years old, from Athens. Police say they’ve confiscated drugs and a dozen firearms and recovered stolen property since the gang sweep began last month.

A man who was wanted for a murder in Philadelphia is arrested in Hall County, caught by police in Oakwood. The arrest was made Sunday.

The Sheriff’s Office in Cleveland says foul play is not suspected in the death of a White County woman whose body was found late last week: 69 year-old Mattie Mizell, who suffered from dementia, had been missing since New Year’s Eve.
