Wimes and his accomplicePosted on 08/19/2009 3:50:39 AM PDT by from occupied ga
The 17-year-old was arrested for allegedly shooting a Chattahoochee Hills woman in the face Monday evening. The woman’s toddler was severely beaten, police said.
Wimes and Donovan McCoy, 21, both attacked 22-year-old Shenegua “Nikki” Neely, looking for money, police said.
Wimes’ sister is Neely’s best friend, police said.
The whole thing was drug- and gang-related, Chattahoochee Hills police Chief Damon Jones said.
“I own this world, like Scarface,” Wimes shouted to reporters when he was taken in to the Chattahoochee Hills police station earlier Tuesday evening.
He emerged to find his mother and another woman waiting outside, as police loaded him into the back of a squad car.
“I love you Tot. I love you, Mama,” he said, as he looked through the barred windows and held both his thumbs up.
Wimes was out of jail on $250,000 bond for murder and aggravated assault charges from February for a shooting in southwest Atlanta, Fulton County jail authorities said.
Wimes’ family told police he cut off his ankle monitor early Monday morning. He was staying with his family in Chattahoochee Hills, police said.
By Monday night, he and McCoy, were at Neely’s home on Barnes Road, Jones said. Neither had a car, and police believe they hitched a ride to Neely’s home.
“We speculate that a person must have dropped them off, but didn’t know why,” Jones said. “They must have left when they heard shooting.”
A knock came at Neely’s door sometime after 8:30 p.m., Monday. McCoy and Wimes were outside and demanded money, police said.
When Neely didn’t comply, she was shot twice — once in the face, and once in the upper torso with a .9 mm pistol, police said.
Police responded to reports of shots fired, and found Neely lying in a pool of blood. The baby, 1-year-old Defante Neely, was bruised but awake, Jones said.
“The child had a lot of bruises to the forehead,” Jones said. “And crushing-type wounds.”
A briefcase was taken from the home, police said. But instead of money, the briefcase contained a handgun.
McCoy, also known as “Dino” was arrested within an hour of police reaching the scene, Jones said.
The Michigan native has several prior arrests in his home state, but had only been in Chattahoochee Hills for about three months, police said.
Fulton County Police and Sheriff’s departments, Union City police, and Coweta and Douglas county sheriff’s departments were called into help with the search. Crime scene technicians and K-9 search dogs were brought in to look for Wimes.
By late Tuesday afternoon, police had a mug shot of Wimes distributed to Metro Atlanta media outlets to help with the search.
Around 6:45, Wimes went to a relative’s home on Rico Road and Vernon Grove Road, about a mile from Neely’s home.
Jones said Wimes asked to use the phone there, and the relative — having seen his face on TV — called police. Wimes went across the street to an abandoned house at 7575 Rico Road, and went into the attic to hide.
Police arrived on the scene and called for Fulton County’s police dog. While officers awaited the K-9 unit, they told him to come out over the loudspeaker, Jones said.
“We told him, ‘come out with your hands in the air, or we’re going to send the dog in,’” Jones said.
Wimes came to the front door, saying he gave up, but immediately ran behind a nearby bush, keeping his hands in the air, Jones said.
“He later told me he wanted to be shot by police,” Jones said.
Wimes and McCoy are each facing charges of aggravated assault, aggravated battery, armed robbery and cruelty to children. They are currently being held at the South Fulton Municipal Regional Jail in Union City.
They will face a judge Wednesday morning for bonding.
Neely is said to be in serious condition at Atlanta Medical Center, and her child remains at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston.
Jones thanked all the many different police agencies, media outlets and community members who helped find the two suspects.
“We had a pretty violent crime for this area,” he said. “We had everybody in custody in 22 hours with everybody working together.”
Wimes and his accomplice
Donovan McCoy
And have a good chance of getting bond after all they're "teens" not "thugs" or "scum"
This young man should be released immediately.
From about 30,000 feet.
Huey ride!
Unfreakin' believable!
I'd like to hear him say that in the courtyard of the prison among the general population.
Some people cannot be salvaged, and for the safety of the rest of us should be executed as soon as possible.
So he has an attempted murder on top of the murder charge, and they are still considering bond? Sounds like the judge should be in jail too.
Feral.
This young man is probably held in great esteem in the ‘hood, and is a credit to his upbringing by a loving Mother and close family.
He’s not worth the amperage. Rope can be re-used, though.
The stories never mention race.
The jails are filled with blacks involved in crimes.
The blacks kick and scream about the proportion of blacks in the jails,
Yet you look at the pictures of those involved in these inhumane murders and rapes, and the truth comes out. Soon they will stop posting the pictures. Pictures of criminals are racist.
The city of Atlanta's government has one primary purpose, and that is to serve as a racial spoils system to reward blacks at the expense of whites. Accordingly, Atlanta has a violent crime problem that in part stems from its revolving door policy for black criminals. Most of the violent crimes committed in Atlanta are by black "youts" either on parole or on bond. I read someplace that the average time served for murder (if you're black) here in Atlanta is seven years.
However, a much more severe treatment is used for white people who commit crimes - look up what happened to a Tech kid who made a couple of soda pop bottle co2 bombs for a prank.
“So he has an attempted murder on top of the murder charge, and they are still considering bond? Sounds like the judge should be in jail too.”
That’s what I noticed too ...
She’ll probably be on the news saying “But he’s a good boy!”
Oddly enough, a couple of years ago a local newspaper published a front page spread of local “most wanted” in an effort to cooperate with police in apprehensions.
All of them happened to be black.
There were cries of “RACISM” for months.
Go talk to teachers (off the record) and classmates of this kid in school. Get someone to talk. It needs to come out that all of this is known about these guys well before they leave school.
And who else would be committing all these "black on black" crimes?
Idiots.
Yup. Notice his eyes. Chilling.
this is why folks still use the N word.
Where is Chattahoochee Hills? Never heard of it; and I guess that is a good thing considering.
Well you can’t just execute people for the likelihood that they’ll be thugs. And as far as teachers go, I doubt that this pair spent much time in school. The answer is to lock them up and throw away the key for crimes where no one is killed and promptely execute the garbage when they’re convicted of killing someone. The answer is NOT let them run around on bond when they’re awaiting trial for murder.

Newly formed (last year) city in South Fulton.
Like yesterday.
Does Atlanta have a zoo? If so, they can save some money by feeding him live to the lions.
This should come as no surprise. Mayor Franklin hired the former police chief of New Orleans, Pennington, to run the city’s anti-crime efforts. He was a disaster in NO and he keeps his record clean here in ATL.
To make matters worse just recently people have begun to ask where Pennington has been. He surfaced only long enough to agreed to ride the clock until the next mayoral election and the mayor is fine with it. Both are now simply phoning it in and because of the amount of melatonin in their skin no one can or will say a thing.
Sorry should read melanin not melatonin. My bad.
If we eliminated the stats on black & Hispanic crime from our criminal reports, the United States of America would be called one of the most crime free countries in the world.
I may be called a racist, but that is undisputed.IMO.
obviously Amish, no story here, please move along
with a .9 mm pistol
That is REALLY small...
obviously a subcaliber round.
This must be an aberration. Over the past ten years I have never seen a violent criminal portrayed as black on any television program, ad, or movie. All violent criminals are pasty-faced white men. I have Hollywood’s and the media’s word for it.

....and if they can tortuously force it in to their junior-high school level plots, often a “religious zealot”....CHRISTIAN of course.
Yes. If you go for the Hollywood movie version of reality, the black man is always the wise one who knows everything (kind of like a "wise latina" I guess)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If this was any kind of Mother worth her salt she would have beat his ass before the cops took him into custody....or even after! You still love your children after they have done wrong, but you don’t support their bad behavior. I would have been beating his ass till the cops would have almost had to arrest me. Maybe if I was lucky a judge would have shown mercy on me for trying to “set my kid right”.
There is a government engendered sense of entitlement in the looter class that is bone deep. One of the problems is that the black inner city culture nurtures the “Ah’s owed.” attitude. I suspect that the mother didn’t see nuthin too wrong bout what he dood, jes gettin caught. They’ve been told by the federal state, and local governments (not to mention the media) that they’re victims so long and so often that they are due everything they want, that they fervently believe it and that entitles them to take it whenever they feel like it and from whoever has it. You have something they want, money, your TV set, etc., it be theirs and you just be in the way and whtever they have to do to get you out of the way they will.
Someone thought it was worth $25,000 to get his worthless a$$ out of jail. I'm guessing it be his momma.
Feral big time.
And the same media/government partnership howls when us non criminal types arm up.
“He emerged to find his mother and another woman waiting outside..”

The problem with much of the “black community” in a nutshell.
No authoritative male relative in sight.
Corny old joke about the welfare mother with 11 children.
social worker, "What are your childrens' names?"
Welfare mother, "Shawn."
Social worker, "No, all their names."
Welfare mother "They all called Shawn. When I wants 'em I don't have to call each one."
Social worker, "But how do call if you just want one of them?"
Welfare mother, "I calls 'em by their last name."
Are you sure that is a joke?
From firsthand observation, I have seen thinking very similar to this, played out in real life.
The part about all the first names being the same is.
South Fulton. Figures.
What do you have against lions?
Wimes does not look like the sharpest crayon in the box.
Well, if the lions don’t relish eating these insects, the lions can use them as toys to hone their clawing skills,
