Atlanta ( CNN ) -- A suspect accused of killing a Georgia police officer and wounding another one surrendered to authorities after a hostage standoff Friday night . The incident was shown live on television as officers arrested suspect Jamie Donnell Hood in Athens , Georgia . Hood , who was shirtless , emerged from the home a little after 11 p.m. with people whom authorities said he had held hostage . SWAT officers descended on Hood , ending the saga that had lasted four days . Hood was being held without bond Saturday in the Hall County Detention Center , Captain Eric Pozen of the Clarke County Sheriff 's Office said . Hood was wanted in connection with Tuesday 's slaying of Senior Police Officer Elmer `` Buddy '' Christian , 34 , and the wounding of Senior Police Officer Tony Howard , 43 . The shooting spurred a huge manhunt that climaxed when authorities learned that Hood was holed up in an apartment in Athens . Authorities said Thursday evening that Hood was holding eight people hostage and they were negotiating with him . At one point , authorities used the media to get a message to Hood . `` I want to commit to you , if you come out without a weapon , you will not be harmed , '' Vernon Keenan of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a televised address . Hood had asked negotiators to bring his mother to the scene , said John Bankhead , a GBI spokesman . During negotiations , Hood insisted that he be arrested on live television because he feared authorities would kill him , CNN affiliate WGCL reported . The incident began Tuesday afternoon on the east side of the city when a vehicle was carjacked , said Hilda Sorrow , a police spokeswoman . Hood , who was believed to be involved , was later seen as a passenger in a red SUV , she said . When Howard stopped the SUV , the man believed to be Hood got out and began shooting , police said . As the gunman ran off , he came across Christian 's patrol car and fired into the vehicle , Sorrow said . The gunman eventually reached a highway and carjacked a Chevrolet Prizm , police said . It was later found abandoned , Sorrow said . Athens is about 70 miles northeast of Atlanta . CNN 's Chuck Johnston contributed to this report .
