MOULTRIE, GA (WALB) -

A Camilla man remains in jail, charged with the shooting death of a Colquitt County man, but he may not be the only one charged.

24-year-old Michael Russell is charged with murdering 29-year-old Billy Hewitt.

He was gunned down in the back yard of his Ninth Avenue Northwest home September 22nd.

He ran to a neighbor's home and broke a window as he frantically asked for help.

Investigators say the case remains open, and they are looking for another person who may have been involved in the crime.
