Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott stated on Fb that “a number of harmless lives” have been misplaced “on account of violence” within the city of West Level, close to the Alabama border. Authorities recognized the suspect as 24-year-old Daricka M. Moore.
The suspect was in custody and there was no menace to the neighborhood, the sheriff wrote on Fb.
At a day information convention on Saturday, Scott stated the victims — relations associated to the suspect — have been shot at three separate places late Friday. One of many victims was a baby.
“I do not know what sort of motive you may must kill a 7-year-old,” the sheriff stated.
When contacted by CBS Information on Saturday morning, the sheriff’s workplace didn’t present any additional particulars.
Moore faces a first-degree homicide cost that might be upgraded to capital homicide, Scott stated. He can also face extra homicide prices.
