Police in Myrtle Beach arrested Jason Turkovich on Aug. 8 after a concerned citizen from Northeast Ohio tipped off officers in South Carolina that he was wanted in Akron.
Turkovich was able to post 10 percent of his $100,000 bond and get out of jail in Summit County on Aug. 4, just days after he allegedly shot 21-year-old Teasijah Rogers and her aunt, Kayla Holt, on Stoddard Avenue.
“I’m so extremely happy,” Johnson said. “At least I feel safer to even go anywhere or safety for my daughter, because I didn’t think it would end if he was out on the street.” “A knife being pulled I don’t think he should have gotten out on a signature bond. He still could have been in jail from that incident and not able to shoot my daughter and sister if he was held on bond for that.”
