MACON, Ga. — A man now faces a murder charge after he allegedly shot his girlfriend earlier this week.
According to a news release, Leonard Holmes was charged with murder, and purchase, possession, manufacture, distribution or sale of marijuana on Tuesday night.
Those charges come after a fatal shooting Monday at a home on Karen Drive.
