Detectives with the Decatur Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit were called to the scene to begin an investigation into the shooting. During the course of the investigation Wallace, as well as a female who was in the car with Wallace at the time of the shooting were able to positively identify the offender as Antonio Marques Lampkin.

Warrants were obtained for Lampkin’s arrest for the charge of Assault in the 1st Degree as well as Discharging a Firearm into an Occupied Vehicle. Morgan County Circuit Judge Jennifer set no bond on both of Lampkin’s warrants due to the fact he is currently out on bond for Robbery in the 1st Degree as well as Assault in the 2nd Degree.
Just after midnight, Officer Cahoon and Officer Southwood with the Decatur Police Department’s Patrol Division located the suspect vehicle parked behind his residence. Officers Cahoon and Southwood approached the house and were able to take Lampkin into custody without incident.
