Roswell Murder Suspect Back in Ga., Charged In 2012 Shooting

ROSWELL, GA -- The man who walked into a New York police department's headquarters to confess to a five-year-old homicide is back in Georgia.

Kwame Dozier has been transported back to Georgia, and is charged with malice murder, felony murder, attempt to commit robbery, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, said Roswell police spokesperson Lisa Holland.

Jail records show Dozier remains held without bond.

According to previous reports, Dozier walked into the Scarsdale, New York, police station Jan. 6 and confessed to the January 2012 shooting.

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.
