SNELLVILLE, Ga. – A Georgia man on the run after shooting and wounding his ex-girlfriend was arrested a week after the incident, authorities said.
Venezia Cole, 26, was captured Thursday and charged with three counts of aggravated assault, five counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, first-degree child cruelty and second-degree criminal damage to property, news outlets reported.
Gwinnett Police spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Pihera previously said authorities were called to a home in Snellville on March 24, where they found a 22-year-old woman suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in the driveway.
A relative told police Cole was supposed to be dropping off diapers when the shooting happened, Pihera said.
Police said Cole shot the woman in front of their 1-year-old son then fired multiple rounds into the home. No one inside the home was injured.
