ACTION 8 UPDATE: Second suspect charged in murder of 12-year-old girl in Montgomery

ACTION 8 UPDATE: A second suspect has been charged with capital murder in the shooting death of a 12-year-old girl in Montgomery.

Montgomery police say they have charged 19-year-old Jo’terrion Tucker of Prattville with three counts of capital murder.

As Action 8 News has reported, a 15-year-old boy was arrested earlier this week on the same charges.

Police say the reason they are charged with three counts of capital murder is because the gunfire happened from a vehicle into a home and because the girl was younger than 14.

She was shot on May 3 in the 4100 block of Keating Drive. That’s off Lower Wetumpka Road, not far from the Montgomery Zoo.

The girl died a week later at a Birmingham hospital.
