The follow-up investigation revealed Bonner accidentally shot himself when he mishandled a firearm that had been inside his clothing.  Bonner was later arrested upon his release from medical care.  

Bonner was wanted in connection with an early-morning burglary of a residence in the 2700 block of Tech Avenue on February 14, 2019.  In addition to Bonner’s warrants for Grand Jury Indictment-Burglary of Habitation and Parole Violation (Original offense-Robbery), Bonner has been placed on U.S.  Marshal Hold and ATF Hold.
