Overview
- Five men, who entered pleas Friday, will serve five years in prison and 15 years of supervised probation under concurrent split sentences with credit for time served.
- Tyreese and Travis McCullough, Wilson LaMar Hill Jr., Willie George Brown Jr., and Sherman Peters admitted to three counts of reckless murder and to multiple assault charges.
- A sixth defendant, Johnny Letron Brown, received youthful offender status with a sealed record and faces up to three years.
- The April 15, 2023 shooting at Mahogany Masterpiece Dance Studio killed four young people and wounded dozens as nearly 100 rounds were fired into a small, crowded room.
- Some families denounced the sentences as too light, while District Attorney Mike Segrest said the deals were the best achievable given evidence of an exchange of gunfire with victim Corbin Holston and uncertainty over who fired first, which led to dropping the charge tied to his death.
