On Tuesday, it was ruled the 15-year-old suspect in connection with the April 15 Dadeville shooting will be tried as an adult, according to a press release from the office of 5th Judicial Circuit district attorney Mike Segrest.

The juvenile, who was 15 on the date of the shootings, was originally charged as a juvenile by law, but Segrest filed a motion asking the juvenile court to transfer the defendant to the Tallapoosa County Circuit Court to be tried.
