An hitch has been made in the shot demise of Belinda Sarkodi piece she was ready and waiting(p) at a Hamilton bus stop on July 11 after a youth turned himself in, police said this morning.
In the days after the 26-year-old innocent bystander was killed, police issued a warrant for the arrest of a 17-year-old suspected of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.
"The male suspect opened fire, striking one of the individuals. As he continued to shoot at a second person, an innocent bystander [Sarkodie] was fatally struck," police said in July.
A man who sustained non-life threatening injuries was also shot.
Sarkodie was the youngest of three children and had been sending money back home to support her mother.
She worked at Hamilton's airport, but travelled to Jackson Square on Fridays to grocery shop.
Evelyn Aidoo, who was like an aunt to Sarkodie, described her as kind, honest, cheerful and supportive.
"That's not fair .... She thought she was safe here," said Aidoo.
