Man charged with giving Damien McDaniel name, address of victim that led to fatal Birmingham shooting
A Fairfield man is accused of providing suspected mass killer Damien McDaniel information on an intended victim which ultimately led to the slaying of a 61-year-old man.
Charles Derius Nance, 41, is charged with capital murder in the Aug. 13 shooting death of Charlie Herbert Moore.
Nance was booked into the Jefferson County Jail at 5:06 p.m. Monday and remains held without bond.
He is the third suspect charged in Moore’s death.
McDaniel, who is accused of killing 11 people and wounding 29 others in five incidents between July and September, and 27-year-old Hatarious Woods are also charged in Moore’s killing.
Moore was found dead that Tuesday after police spotted a stolen vehicle in Vice Hills and then heard shots coming from a nearby apartment.
A North Precinct officer saw and fired at an armed suspect he saw exit the apartment. The suspect got into the passenger side of the stolen vehicle, which then sped away.
Moore was found dead inside the apartment. Police have said he was not the intended target.
A motive has not been disclosed.
According to court documents made public Tuesday, Nance provided the intended victim or victims’ names and address to McDaniel.
Nance is set to make his first court appearance later this week.
Here’s a look at the other crimes with which McDaniel is charged:
– The July 13 mass shooting at the nightclub Trendsetters that killed Angela Weatherspoon, 56, of Center Point, Markeisha Gettings, 42, of Birmingham, Stevie McGhee, 39, of Birmingham, and Lerandus Anderson, 24, of Center Point and wounded 10 others during an adult birthday party.
Hatarious Woods, 27, is also charged with capital murder and 10 counts of first-degree assault in the Trendsetters mass shooting.
– The Sept. 19 killing of Diontrante Tinae Brown, a 35-year-old mother who police say was an innocent bystander shot to death inside 604 Bar and Lounge on Ninth Street North.
– The Sept. 21 deaths of Carlos McCain, 27, Roderick Lynn Patterson Jr., 26, Anitra Holloman, 21, and Tahj Booker, 27. Those four were killed, and 17 others injured, in the Five Points South shooting. He is the only person so far charged in the Southside mass shooting.
– The Sept. 22 robbery shooting death of 32-year-old Jamarcus McIntyre, who died in a hail of gunfire in the 700 block of 81st Place South less than 24 hours after the Five Points South shooting.
McIntyre’s killing was caught on chilling home surveillance video and showed gunmen killing McIntyre and stealing his backpack. Four others have also been charged in McIntyre’s slaying.
