When Posse asked him what he had said about his mother, Holley walked away from both men when he told police he heard a loud bang and felt a burning sensation in his leg, police reports show.

Seay and Posse fled the scene. Holley was taken to phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital for treatment of the wound, the report shows.

Banks said Tuesday that Seay surrendered to police around 7 p.m. Monday.

"The detectives don't believe he had anything to do with the shooting. He just happened to be there when it happened," Banks said.
