Ulesis CoronaA Dalton, Ga., man arrested in connection with a March 23 killing is out on bond, but other suspects remain jailed.
Ulesis Corona, 17, who Dalton police arrested on a false statements charge Tuesday, left the Whitfield County Jail on Thursday after paying a $5,000 bond. But Fernando Resendiz and Juvencio Vega-Garcia still are being held without bond.
Police said Corona, Resendiz and Vega-Garcia were with Orlando Ramirez when he allegedly killed one security guard and injured another outside Las Delicias, a bar at 511 E. Morris St. Vega-Garcia was with Ramirez during the shooting, according to police, and Resendiz was the getaway driver. Corona was in the car, too.
Resendiz and Vega-Garcia were scheduled for a bond hearing Friday morning, but the meeting was pushed back until next Friday because Vega-Garcia’s attorney couldn’t make it and Resendiz wants time to hire a lawyer. Ramirez also remains in jail without a bond, according to the Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office website.
According to Dalton police, Ramirez allegedly shot the two security guards after they did not let the 20-year-old into the bar. However, police said they did not believe the shooting only was about getting into the bar.
