Two people have been arrested for their alleged role in a south Alabama apartment shooting that left two people critically injured last week.
According to the Daphne Police Department, Skylar Jemison, 18, and an unidentified 17-year-old were arrested for the April 29 shooting at the 10x Audubon Apartment complex.
The victims were previously identified as Matthew Barnes, 18, and Demond Walker, 20.
Daphne Police Department Chief Brian Gulsby said the alleged perpetrators met with the victims to purchase marijuana but “movie money” instead of real money was offered.
This allegedly led to an altercation resulting in Jemison shooting the victims.
Jemison was charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of first degree robbery. The 17-year-old has been charged with two counts of first degree robbery.
The two were arrested on Monday at about 4:00 p.m. and could be facing more charges as the investigation continues, the department said.
