Little detail about the investigation has been revealed by authorities, as the victims have been identified
Two teenagers have been charged with murder after a shooting at a Sweet 16 birthday party in Alabama.
Officials say that these were the very beginning stages of the investigation into the shooting on Saturday in Dadeville, and offered very few details.
No information was given about a motive or the type of firearm used.
The two brothers, Riek and Travis McCullough, were arrested and each charged with four counts of reckless murder.
“We are going to make sure everyone of those victims has justice and not just the deceased,” Sergeant Jeremy Burkett of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said.
“These individuals have been charged after a complex and thorough investigation was conducted with assistance from a multitude of law enforcement agencies.”
The deceased victims have been identified as Marsiah Collins, 19; Phil Dowdell, 18; Corbin Holston, 23; and Shaunkivia Smith, 17.
The District Attorney, Mike Segrest, went on to say that the event was tragic for all involved, but he is fighting for those victims.
“I know that there has been some frustration among our community and among media about a lack of information that has been provided up to this point.”
