The sixth suspect arrested in relation to the Bethel Street shooting that killed one and injured another was arraigned in Christian District Court Tuesday for murder and robbery charges.
Twenty-two year old Shakkory Willis was the final suspect sought in the shooting that killed Corvyan Thomas and sent Dylan Stewart to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for a gunshot to the leg last Thursday. District Judge Foster Cotthoff entered a not guilty plea on his behalf and ruled for his bond to stay at $1 million.
Along with murder, Willis is additionally charged with first-degree robbery and second-degree unlawful transaction with a minor. Willis had turned himself into the Christian County Jail Monday, with 21-year old James Joseph Yates and 20-year old Lane Carter of Hopkinsville already in custody on charges of first-degree robbery and second-degree unlawful transaction with a minor.
The warrant for Willis alleges he shot Thomas three times with a 9 mm handgun during the course of the robbery.
Two juveniles were also arrested for complicity to first-degree robbery and a third juvenile was arrested for first-degree assault, first-degree robbery and criminal possession of a forged instrument. One of the juveniles is 14 years old, according to citation for Carter.
Judge Cotthoff set a preliminary hearing for Monday at 1 p.m.
