3 charged with murder in shooting at teen’s birthday party in Alabama
LA TimesTwo teenagers and a 20-year-old man have been arrested and charged with reckless murder in connection with a shooting that killed four young people at a girl’s 16th birthday party in rural Alabama, investigators announced Wednesday. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency announced that Tyreese “Ty Reik” McCullough, 17, and Travis McCullough, 16, both of Tuskegee — along with Wilson LaMar Hill Jr., 20, of Auburn — had been charged with four counts of reckless murder. Allen said the three suspects were not invited to the party and her daughter “didn’t know them,” but they might have come with someone else as word of the party spread on social media. Segrest said dozens of teens from nearby towns attended the party, spreading trauma across the region like a “wave.” A family member of Smith was thankful for the arrests.
