Ulesis CoronaDalton police have arrested a fifth person in connection with the March 23 killing of a local bar’s security guard.
On Tuesday, officers charged 17-year-old Ulesis Corona with making false statements to law enforcement officers. According to the Whitfield County Jail’s website, police are currently holding him without bond.
According to a news release, Corona was with Orlando Ramirez, Fernando Resendiz and Juvencio Vega-Garcia last week when Ramirez opened fire at Las Delicias, a bar located at 511 E Morris St. Police say Ramirez shot two security guards after they did not let the 20 year old into the bar.
One security guard survived, but 28-year-old Bruno Rodriguez died.
After the shooting, Vega-Garcia ran away and hopped in a car driven by Resendiz. Ramirez later walked away from the scene, and Resendiz picked him up on East Morris Street.
