Murder suspect turns himself in at jail

The suspect sought for a fatal shooting Friday night on East Fourth Street turned himself in at the Christian County Jail Sunday afternoon.

A Hopkinsville Police Department arrest warrant for murder was served against 32-year old Tavaris Quarles of Hopkinsville, alleging he shot 33-year old Christopher Montrell Mumford of Hopkinsville outside an 810 East Fourth home just before midnight Friday.

The warrant says Mumford went to the home with some friends and that Quarles opened the door when they knocked and shot Mumford before fleeing the scene.

Mumford was pronounced dead at the scene by the coroner’s office.

Quarles was booked in the Christian County Jail on a $500,000 cash bond.
