JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The man wanted for killing a mother on Thanksgiving turned himself into police.

Calvin Wright turned himself into the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Friday morning for the murder of Rolesha Bianca Thomas.

Police say Thomas was trying to end the three-month relationship she was having with Wright. The couple was reportedly fighting over a cell phone, when Wright pulled out a gun and opened fire.

After the shooting, police say Wright ran. Thomas was transported to UF & Shands Jacksonville where she died from her injuries.

Thomas, 24, leaves behind a 7-year-old daughter.
