The Black Friday murder in the Cumberland Mall parking lot was a counterfeiting deal gone bad, a police detective testified Thursday.

Rosano Wensly Bundel, 28, of Douglasville and George Tabetando, 29, of Powder Springs met about counterfeit money outside Macy's department store on Nov. 25 but wound up arguing, Cobb County police Detective Kenneth Kromer said during a bond hearing, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and WSB-TV.

Investigators say Tabetando ran, and Bundel chased him down and fatally shot him. Bundel says he killed Tabetando in self-defense.

Bundel was denied bond Thursday, the AJC said.

Bundel surrendered on Dec. 2 at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center at the advice of his attorney, Cobb County police announced.

The Cobb County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Unit and the U.S. Marshals Service worked with the Cobb police in searching for Bundel
