Crawfordville man indicted for 1st degree murder

A Crawfordville man was indicted Tuesday on charges of first degree murder stemming from a shooting in January.
52-year-old Walter McCoy Porter Sr. was indicted on one count of first degree murder and two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The charges stem from a January 19 incident during which an argument turned violent and 49-year-old Michael Scott Lawrence was shot twice and died.
Investigators recovered the rifle used in the shooting at the scene.
Porter fled the scene but turned himself in two days later.

Porter was originally charged with second degree murder but the grand jury found enough evidence to increase the charge to 1st degree murder.
