MUNCIE, Ind. — A Muncie man has been arrested in the fatal shooting early Saturday of a Marion teenager.
Malek Savon Williams, 21, is preliminarily charged with murder and criminal recklessness. He was being held without bond Sunday in the Delaware County jail.
Williams is accused of fatally shooting 19-year-old Que'Aundre Johnson, near University Avenue and Dill Street, about 12:40 a.m. Saturday.
The young Marion man — who had "several gunshot wounds," according to Muncie Police Chief Nate Sloan — was taken by ambulance to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Williams was taken into custody late Saturday afternoon, Sloan said.
