Sharpe St. murder suspects appear in court

The three suspects charged 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 appeared Wednesday morning in Christian Circuit Court.

A grand jury in April 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.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Rick Boling told the attorneys for the three suspects they should have all of the evidence by the end of next week.

Another pre-trial conference was set for September 21.
