Fulton Murder Suspect Steven Marshall To Be Extradited to Atlanta, Today
 

A Fulton murder suspect, wanted in connecting with the shooting death of a toddler earlier this month, will be extradited back to Atlanta this afternoon. Steven Marshall, 32, who was captured in Cleveland, Ohio on January 14th, is expected to arrive at the Fulton County Jail this afternoon at 5:30 p.m.

Fulton County Sheriff Jackie Barrett announced today that she will personally travel to Ohio and extradite Marshall back to Atlanta.

“This was a very heinous crime,” said Sheriff Barrett. “Considering his extensive criminal history, and flight to avoid prosecution, I will personally assist the extradition team this afternoon as they return Marshall back to Atlanta.”

Marshall has been charged with murder in the shooting death of 3 year-old Terrance Douglas at an East Point apartment on January 5th. Five other suspects charged in the case, including the child’s mother, are free on bond.
