Man Confesses To 2012 Roswell Murder: Report

ROSWELL, GA -- Police in New York say a man walked into their facility and confessed to a fatal Roswell shooting that took place nearly five years ago.

That's according to Lohud.com, which said the 37-year-old subject went to the Scarsdale police station the morning of Friday, Jan. 6 and confessed to the shooting.

While Scarsdale police did not identify the suspect, Westchester County Jail inmate records show Dozier, also known as Kwame Dozier, is being held on charges of being a fugitive from justice, the media outlet reports.

Lohud.com also reports detectives from the Roswell Police Department have traveled to Scarsdale to interview the man about the incident.

Roswell police spokesperson Lisa Holland also said the agency is not releasing the suspect's name at this time.

Officers were dispatched just after midnight Jan. 8, 2012, of a call of a double shooting at the Concepts 21 apartments on Old Holcomb Bridge Way.

They arrived on the scene to find two people suffering gunshot wounds. One man, later identified as Ladell Crumpton, subsequently died of his injuries at North Fulton Hospital. Crumpton was shot after answering a knock at the door, police previously told Patch.

The second shooting victim was grazed on the back. He was treated and released from an Atlanta hospital.
