UPDATE (4:04 p.m.) Bond has been denied for murder suspect Tyquan French in an Aniah’s Law ruling, News 5 has learned.
BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. ( WKRG ) — Handcuffed and shackled, Tyquan French, 19, headed into court for a pre-trial detention hearing under Aniah’s Law . He is charged with the murder of Christian Bradley, one of three people killed during a May Day celebration mass shooting earlier this month in Stockton.
During the hearing, testimony from Baldwin County Sheriff’s investigator Sgt. Nate Lamplugh revealed new details in the case.
Lamplugh told the court there were three volleys of gunfire in separate locations during the May Day celebration in Stockton.
Three witnesses identified French and Christian Bradley struggling behind a stage when three shots were fired. One of those shots struck Bradley, killing him. Investigators called it an intentional killing.
“He ran from the scene that night. We believe he disposed of the weapon afterward,” says Assistant District Attorney Patrick Doggett.
When questioned by investigators, according to testimony, French told them he — quote — “lost it” during the fight with Bradley.
So far, several guns have been recovered, dozens of witnesses have come forward, and 10 to 12 videos of the chaos in Stockton are still being reviewed.
“I feel very confident that we are going to get to the point where we find out who did all of this,” says Doggett. “It may not be today or tomorrow, but their day is coming.”
French left the courthouse the same way he came in, and if he has any information that could shed light on what happened in Stockton, he isn’t talking.
“Nope, I ain’t got nothing to say,” he said.
Fifteen people were wounded on May 11 at the celebration. Three people were killed: Bradley, Michael Anderson, Jr., 19, and Chiquita Ewing.
So far, two arrests have been made, Robert G. Brown for assault and French for murder. Investigators promise more arrests are coming.
