At around 10 p.m. Friday, officers responded to the Walmart but determined Jelks had fled the scene. Police said his vehicle was located abandoned nearby.
The gunfire, which was not believed to be random, occurred just inside the entrance of the store on Pavilion Parkway. Holton was struck and later died, while the girl was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after being grazed by a bullet, according to authorities.
“Thankfully, the 9-year-old shooting victim is expected to make a full recovery and has been released from the hospital,” police said Wednesday.
Officials told Channel 2 Action News that Jelks was a Walmart employee.
A surveillance photo of him wearing a Walmart vest was released early Saturday during the manhunt. He was booked into the Fayette County jail around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday on charges of murder and aggravated assault, according to online records.

Another 19-year-old, Sandra Romero-Nunez, was arrested and booked into the county jail Saturday on the same charges as Jelks, though her role in the shooting has not been provided by police.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact Fayetteville police at 770-461-4441 or 770-461-4357.
