A Fulton County Superior Court judge denied bond on Tuesday for Edward Espinoza, the suspect in the shooting death of Roswell police officer Jeremy Labonte on February 7. Prosecutors detailed how Espinoza fired over a dozen shots at Labonte after the officer approached him during an investigation of a suspicious person. Espinoza's attorney requested his release to a mental health facility, but the judge ruled he posed a flight risk and danger to the community, citing his previous criminal history and the use of a ghost gun in the incident.
