A man accused of stabbing
a 53 year old Gadsden man has surrendered to authorities.
30 year old William D'Angelo McKinney, of Birmingham, has
been charged with the murder of a 53-year-old man and second degree assault of
his 27-year-old ex-girlfriend.
Police say McKinney attacked his ex-girlfriend at her home
on Winona Avenue in the Mill Village neighborhood around 8 p.m. on Tuesday,
night.
The woman told police that McKinney used a key to get
inside her home without her permission.
She said she told McKinney to leave, but he "pushed
her down, wrapped his arms around her neck and chocked her until she blacked
out..
The victim's mom was also at the home and told McKinney
she had called police. He escaped before officers got to the scene.
Authorities say McKinney showed back up at his
ex-girlfriend's house around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday morning..
He got there around the same time as 53-year-old Amos
Jackson, who arrived to give McKinney's ex-girlfriend a ride to work.
Police say McKinney confronted Jackson and stabbed him
several times in his torso. McKinney's ex-girlfriend called police, who
responded but not in time to catch the suspect.
Officers found Jackson suffering from his stab wounds
beside his vehicle. He was transported to Gadsden Regional Medical Hospital,
where he died around 9 a.m.
McKinney was on the run until U.S. Marshals and Gadsden
detectives found him in Birmingham on Wednesday night.
He surrendered to the Marshals and was brought back to
Gadsden for questioning. Around 10 p.m., he was booked into the Etowah County
Jail on murder and assault charges.
He is being held on no bond.
