Arraignment was held Wednesday morning in Christian Circuit Court for the three suspects indicted Friday for their alleged roles in the October 26 fatal shooting of 23-year old Adrian Acree at the intersection of Sharpe and Jones Street in Hopkinsville
The grand jury indicted 25-year old Cortez Hairston of Hopkinsville for murder and 23-year old Dekorian Daniel and 24-year old Jaila Sherrod of Hopkinsville for complicity to murder.
Investigation by Hopkinsville police determined Sherrod allegedly drove Acree to the location where Hairston would gun him down. Sherrod and Daniel are also accused of helping in the planning of the murder.
Attorneys for all three suspects entered not guilty pleas for their clients, including Evan Bates on behalf of Sherrod.
A pre-trial conference was scheduled for June 8 for each suspect, though the judge says they can meet earlier if any new motions are filed.
