Businessman wounded in attempted robbery, one suspect dies

A Selma businessman was hospitalized and a suspect killed following an attempted robbery over the weekend. Selma police said a second suspect was arrested.

Authorities said it happened Saturday night about 7:30 p-m when two juveniles confronted Nathaniel Gary after he closed his business on Broad Street.

Police said Gary, owner of Doc's Fashions, exchanged gunshots with 18-year-old Michael Walker and 17-year-old Keotha Billingsley. Walker was shot dead.

Billingsley fled the scene, but he was arrested and charged with first-degree robbery.

Police said Gary was shot in the leg and was treated and released. Police said he will NOT face charges.

Billingsley was released on a five-thousand dollar bond and awaits an arraignment hearing.
