An Alabama driver shot a pedestrian to death — for taking too
long crossing the road, according to police.
Johnarian Allen, 29, was hit eight times in a barrage of bullets
Thursday as he crossed outside a store in Union Springs, a small
town about 45 miles southeast of Montgomery, according to WSFA
12 News.
Driver Jermiah Penn, 22, fled the shooting scene — but later
arranged to hand himself in via a friend who is a sheriff’s
deputy, police said.
He allegedly confessed to jumping out of his vehicle and firing
multiple times because he felt Allen wasn’t moving out of the
roadway quickly enough, Union Springs Police Chief Danny Jackson
told the station.
Penn is being held on a capital murder charge in the Bullock
County Jail, police said.
