Jayden Gunsby was identified as a suspect in the shooting death of Davaris Lindsey, 20, on April 9.

Cops found Lindsey with several gunshot wounds near McGregor and Colquitt streets in LaGrange, Georgia. Lindsey was transported to Wellstar West Georgia Medical Center, where he succumbed to the injuries.

An arrest warrant for Gunsby was issued on April 12.

'This warrant charges Gunsby as an adult due to the offense being a murder charge,' stated the LaGrange Police Department on Facebook at the time.

Gunsby was taken into custody without incident at the police department around 11.15pm on Monday.

The NAACP of Troup County helped Gunsby's family with the surrender.

'We got a call from the family. It was orderly,' Mike Merideth of the NAACP chapter told Channel 2. 'There was a lot of emotions and a lot of family support.'

'I know they were familiar with each other. There exact relationship I can't really comment on at this time, but they were familiar,' police Lt Mark Cavender told the TV station. 'We know there are other parties involved in this.'

It remains an active investigation.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact the police department or Troup County Crime Stoppers.

The shooting happened a day after a five-year-old girl who was excited about Easter was shot to death in a car while sitting next to her parents as they headed to dinner. The family was traveling southbound on Interstate 880 in Fremont, California, to an Outback Steakhouse in Milpitas when Eliyanah Crisostomo was struck by a bullet.

Eliyanah died shortly after being hit. She would have turned six years old earlier this week. Suspects in the shooting were not immediately identified.
