Four Montgomery men have been indicted in connection with the November mass shooting at Tuskegee University.

A Macon County grand jury on Friday charged four men with one count each of discharging a firearm on school property: Jaquez Ke’Von Myrick, 25; Jaylen Se’Quan Lassic, 21; Romero Frazier II, 20; and La’Darius Ja’Quant Gantt, 21.

Myrick in February pleaded guilty to a federal weapons charge. He is set to be sentenced in May.

No one has been charged in the shooting death of 18-year-old La’Tavion Johnson or the wounding of 16 others, 12 of whom were shot.

The Tuskegee shooting happened Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024, at West Commons on-campus apartments. Some of it was caught on social media videos.

The shooting came as Tuskegee’s 100th Homecoming Week was winding down. Its football team that Saturday had played Fairfield-based HBCU Miles College.

Johnson’s parents have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the university and security officials.

ATF Special Agent Andrew Erdmann in the criminal complaint said that Macon County 911 received a call at 12:58 a.m. that Sunday reporting shots fired on the campus with possibly two people dead.

A Tuskegee police officer, among the first to respond, saw a large number of people at West Commons and said the gunfire was still ongoing.

He was unable to drive his patrol vehicle into the parking lot because of the crowd of people and vehicles, the complaint states.

“As Officer (Alan) Ashley moved through the parking lot, he observed a (Black) male laying on the ground and not moving,’’ Erdmann wrote.

“Officer Ashley said he found the male on the ground to be deceased from a possible gunshot wound.”

The officer then spotted another man in the parking lot, later identified as Myrick, who was armed with a Glock pistol. Myrick was detained and the pistol confiscated.

Erdmann said the Glock in Myrick’s possession was loaded with a 30-round magazine containing nine rounds of ammunition, as well as a round loaded into the chamber of the pistol.

The agent said the gun was equipped with a black “invisi-switch” type machine gun conversion device and functioned as a machine gun.

In an interview with agents, Myrick told investigators “he came to Tuskegee from Montgomery looking for a party,’’ Erdmann wrote.

Myrick said he and his friends were there for about five minutes when he began hearing gunfire. He said he went into the parking lot looking for one of his friends, at which point he was arrested by an officer.

Myrick said he bought the gun from a pawn shop in Tampa and denied being aware of any modifications made to the pistol. He said he had fired the gun Saturday, and that it “shot normal.”

He later confessed that he bought the “switch” for his Glock pistol one to two years ago and installed it on the gun.

He initially denied firing the gun on campus that morning, but later said he did but did not shoot anyone.

Jeremiah Williams, 20, is also charged federally with having a gun equipped with a machine gun conversion device. His case is set for trial later this year.

Segrest said the investigation is ongoing by ALEA, the Tuskegee University Police Department, the City of Tuskegee Police Department, the Macon County Sheriff’s Office, ATF, FBI, the Fifth Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office, and the Alabama Attorney General’s Office.
