A 16-year-old Starkville native has been charged with murder after a shooting at Brooksville Garden apartments left one dead on Thursday night.
SPD charged Tomas T. Bradford with murder in the shooting death of 20-year-old Deontay M. Rogers, of Starkville.
Rogers was pronounced dead at OCH Regional Medical Center from his injuries at about 9:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Bradford's initial appearance in Starkville Municipal Court was on Friday. He is currently in the Oktibbeha County Jail with bond set at $2 million.
Few details have been released and Bradford’s relationship to the victim has not been made public at this time.
At the time of the arrest, SPD said Bradford was out on bond for charges relating to another fatal shooting and armed robbery in early March 2016.
The previous incident resulted in the shooting death of 17-year-old Dacorian K. Coleman at Camelot Apartments. Bradford was arrested along with another Starkville teen for armed robbery in connection to the shooting.
The incident is under active investigation and more charges are expected.
