All six suspects connected to the Dadeville mass shooting will officially remain in jail as the final alleged shooter, Sherman Peters III, 15, of Tuskegee, was denied bond Tuesday afternoon following an Aniah’s Law hearing.
Peters’ Aniah’s Law hearing was much later than the other five suspects, who were also denied bond, as Peters’ case was only recently transferred to adult court. He is charged with four counts of reckless murder, 24 counts of first-degree assault and one count of third-degree assault. All six suspects are charged with the same crimes, and the others — Willie George Brown Jr., 19, and Wilson LaMar Hill Jr., 20, both of Auburn, and Johnny Letron Brown, 20, Ty Reik McCullough, 17, and Travis McCullough, 16, all of Tuskegee — have been indicted by the grand jury on those charges.
