SAVANNAH, GA — A 26-year-old Savannah man has been charged with felony murder weeks after a victim wounded in an early-morning shooting on Echols Avenue died from his injuries.
Savannah Morning News reported that Savannah Police arrested Maalike Frazier on April 10 with help from the department’s Strategic Investigations Unit and the U.S. Marshals in the area of Wheaton Street and Waters Avenue.
The case began on March 1 at about 12:45 a.m., when officers responded to the 10 block of Echols Ave and found a male victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, according to police. The victim was taken to Memorial Health University Medical Center, where he later died.
Detectives worked through the night to piece together the shooting and eventually identified Frazier’s vehicle, according to SPD. Investigators then obtained an arrest warrant, leading to his capture more than a month after the attack.
Frazier now faces one count of felony murder, three counts of aggravated assault, and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, according to authorities.
Police have not said what led to the shooting, and the investigation remains ongoing, according to SPD.
Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or submit a tip through the SPD mobile app.
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.

Often, the complaints themselves are copies of copies of faxed copies, and are difficult to read.
