The sixth suspect sought in connection with a fatal shooting last week on Bethel Street has turned himself in at the Christian County Jail.
Hopkinsville Police charged 22-year old Shakkory Dashaun Willis with murder, first-degree robbery and unlawful transaction with a minor.
As previously reported, officers were called to 1923 Bethel just after midnight Thursday morning and found 19-year old Dylan Stewart of Hopkinsville with a gunshot wound to the leg and 20-year old Corvyan Thomas of Hopkinsville unresponsive with a gunshot wound, according to the police report. Thomas died from his injuries and Stewart was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
The warrant for Willis alleges he shot Thomas three times with a 9 mm handgun during the course of the robbery.
Hopkinsville Police had previously arrested 21-year old James Joseph Yates and 20-year old Lane Carter of Hopkinsville on charges of first-degree robbery and second-degree unlawful transaction with a minor.
Two juveniles were 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.
Police say Carter drove the vehicle that took the suspects to the Bethel Street home and Yates also entered the home during the robbery. One of the juveniles who was an active participant in the incident is 14-years old, according to the citation for Carter.
