The order issued Tuesday charges 19-year-old Julian Conley with aggravated assault and serious murder, according to department spokesman Anthony W. Grant.
Detectives are working to arrest Conley, Grant added.
Secoriea Turner was shot dead on July 4 while sitting in a car with her mother and an unidentified man while trying to turn around in a parking lot that had an illegal barricade.
Conley’s attorney, Jackie Patterson, told CNN that Conley will go to the police headquarters at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Conley denies that he was involved in the shooting, but admits he was present at the scene with a gun, Patterson said.
“I was protesting peacefully,” said Patterson. “He doesn’t know the people who shot. He just witnessed it.”
“It was a lot of chaos,” Patterson said of how his client describes the scene of the shooting.
