Authorities are continuing their search for an individual who allegedly shot and killed a man while they were traveling together in a vehicle in Hall County. The incident took place on the entrance ramp from Jesse Jewell Parkway to I-985 northbound in Gainesville, and reports of the shooting were received by deputies just after 1:30 a.m. on Friday. Upon arriving at the scene, law enforcement officers discovered the lifeless body of the driver, identified as Jeremiah James Bonds, a 23-year-old resident of Flowery Branch.
The investigation revealed that Deon Altron Ellison, a 24-year-old resident of Gainesville, was a passenger in the vehicle.
