Wagner, who was in the passenger seat, will respond as an accomplice in the 'help after the murder'.

Jimmo and the suspects were involved in a fight in the parking lot of a bar last Sunday. After the fight, the fighter went towards his car, but Getschel accelerated his pickup truck and threw his car over the athlete. He subsequently fled until he was arrested this Wednesday.

Jimmo was rescued by an ambulance, but he succumbed to his injuries and died in hospital.
