Second Suspect in 2011 Decatur Murder Pleads Guilty

A second suspect has pleaded guilty in the 2011 murder of Caleb Witty in Decatur. Bobby Gipson pleaded down to second-degree murder, just days after Michael Wallace entered a guilty plea in the same case. Witty was shot and killed on August 4th, 2011, while trying to protect his younger sister during a robbery. Decatur Police arrested Gipson in Tennessee 13 years after the killing, then arrested Wallace the following day. The guilty pleas mark a major development in a case that has weighed on Witty’s family and the Decatur community for more than a decade.
