18-year-old charged with capital murder in deadly shooting at Center Point apartment complex
An 18-year-old has been charged with capital murder in the Thursday shooting death of a man at an eastern Jefferson County apartment complex.
William Ayala Torres is charged in the killing of 23-year-old Calvin Maurice Chambers. Torres was booked into the county jail at 10:26 p.m. Thursday and remains behind bars.
Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched at 4:38 p.m. Thursday to Charter East Apartments, said Lt. Joni Money.
When they arrived, they found Chambers, who had been shot at least once. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
Investigators were able to get a description of the suspect vehicle. With help from Flock cameras and the Metro Area Command Center, deputies obtained a location of that vehicle and stopped it after a brief pursuit.
Five people initially were taken into custody.
In addition to capital murder, Torres is also charged with second-degree marijuana. His bonds total $106,000.
The charge is capital because authorities say the deadly shots were fired from a vehicle.
Of the other four take into custody, a 20-year-old is charged with felony possession of marijuana, Money said. Two other males and a female were charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
