Dalton police now searching for suspect who was shot in the face

DALTON, Georgia (WDEF) – Dalton Police are asking for the public’s help in finding another suspect in the drug deal shooting on Wrinkle Street in November.

Investigators say that on November 27th, Nathan Hastey and Elijah Ensley went to the home to sell marijuana to James Walton and Donte Jackson.

But the customers turned into robbers, a gun was produced, a fight broke out over it, and one of the would-be robbers was shot.

He is 18 year old James Walton.

He has been in the hospital recovering from the gunshot wound to his face.

But now that he is out, he hasn’t turned himself into police as he was supposed to.

Walton faces charges of armed robbery, false imprisonment, and aggravated assault.

If you know where Walton can be found, please contact Detective Brian Shirley at 706-278-9085, extension 9189.

All of the other suspects in the case have been charged.
