Court testimony portrays a planned robbery over THC vape pens with at least 47 shots fired.

Overview

  • Police arrested Davione Green, 22, on Tuesday and charged him with capital murder in the Jan. 10 slaying of Brandon Campbell, with Green now held in the Jefferson County Jail without bond.
  • Updated charging records show capital murder counts for Green, Ricco Wells, 22, and a 17-year-old acquaintance, while Kavari Wells, 19, Algie Surrell, 27, and another 17-year-old face felony murder.
  • Detectives say the teens were lured to a Woodland Avenue home for a meetup arranged over Instagram, where surveillance captured a voice saying “give it up” before gunfire and a white SUV leaving the scene.
  • Investigators recovered 47 shell casings from three guns, the victims’ bullet-riddled car was later found crashed on Tuscaloosa Avenue, and all six suspects are related according to police testimony.
  • A judge denied bond for Surrell and Kavari Wells after Aniah’s Law hearings, capital murder defendants remain held without bond, the surviving victim Sam Slaughter is recovering, and testimony indicated a seventh juvenile has been or will be charged.
