Last week a jury found Eric Dodds and "Johntae" Kavon Collier guilty of felony murder and several other counts in the murder of Dakota Bradshaw, according to Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit District Attorney Clayton M. Fuller.
"They're looking at a minimum sentence of life with the possibility of parole plus five years. And then the maximum sentence would be life without the possibility of parole," says DA Fuller.
Tuesday Walker County officials announced that the 3rd suspect, Dajah Larissa Collins, pleaded guilty to Bradshaw's murder.
The 4th suspect, Darius Woods, was arrested November 4th of last year. His case still remains pending.
"Dakota Bradshaw was gunned down in our community in a senseless act of violence," says Fuller.
On August 1st of 2022 Walker County Sherriff's deputies and Rossville Police Department officers responded to a shots fired call on East Peachtree Street in Rossville, Georgia around 1 in the afternoon.
When deputies and officers arrived on the scene they discovered Dakota Bradshaw shot dead inside his home. Bradshaw was taken to Erlanger Hospital where he died.
"This case stretched into three states, we had three defendants in two different states, and the murder happened here in Georgia," says GBI special agent Joe Montgomery.
Dodds and Collier’s popular Tik Tok accounts came into play in this investigation.
The GBI says, while investigating the case, they wrote over 70 search warrants, searched endless social media accounts and collected phone data to track the defendants from Huntsville to Chattanooga to where the murder occurred.
"To Dakota's family, we know this doesn't bring Dakota back, but justice was done and we hope this brings some measure of peace to the family," says DA Fuller.
DA Fuller says Dakota was top of his class and wanted to pursue a career in cybersecurity.
