James Alvin Ellison, 20, was indicted in Chatham County on Wednesday in connection to multiple shootings and an armed robbery.
Ellison, who was 18 at the time of a 2024 shooting, is accused of shooting a victim in the left shoulder on August 16, 2024. He faces charges of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Bond was set at $50,000 with an ankle monitor on January 29, 2026, for this case.
He was also indicted for a separate Nov. 17, 2025, shooting, facing aggravated assault, criminal damage of property, and firearm charges. Additionally, Ellison is charged with armed robbery from a Nov. 9, 2024, incident. He was denied bond in the armed robbery case and was arrested 11 days later while receiving treatment for an unrelated gunshot wound.
WSAV has requested his mugshot from the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office.
