An Atlanta teenager suspected in the killing an 8-year-old girl near the Wendy's where Rayshard Brooks was killed by police last month surrendered Wednesday, authorities said.

Julian Conley, 19, was transported to the Fulton County Jail after a felony murder warrant was issued for his arrest Tuesday, Atlanta police said in a statement. He also faces a charge of aggravated assault.

The girl, Secoriea Turner, was shot to death while riding in a car with her mother and a friend on July 4. The driver tried to pull into a parking lot that was barricaded after Brooks was killed on June 12.

The area was the site of racial justice rallies after Brooks, who was Black, was shot to death by Officer Garrett Rolfe, who is white.
