Two suspects have been indicted in the 2023 shooting death of a 57-year-old man inside his north Birmingham home.

A Jefferson County grand jury indicted Tanarence Murphy, 28, and Aaron Elijah Bearden, 25, on capital murder in the slaying of Robert Chandler. Both were taken into custody last year in Huntsville.

The grand jury issued the indictments in December, and they were made public today.

Both men have also been indicted on two counts of robbery in connection with two other victims in 2021.

Birmingham police officers were called Chandler’s residence in the 4200 block of Fairmont Way just before 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2023, on a report of a person down.

A community member had gone to check on Chandler and found him unresponsive.

Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service responded to the scene and pronounced Chandler dead.

An autopsy showed Chandler died from a gunshot wound.

Chandler was among multiple people who were asleep in the same house in April 2019 when 58-year-old William “Billy” Morris was fatally shot while he was asleep on the couch.

Chandler and Morris were cousins. The 2019 killing happened during a drive-by shooting, and Chandler talked at length with AL.com about what happened in those early-morning hours.

Murphy and Bearden remain held without bond. Trial dates have not yet been set.
