Bond denied for accused killer in boy’s death

A Mississippi judge is still denying bail to one of three teenagers charged with capital murder in the shooting death of a six-year-old boy.
Madison County Circuit Judge Bill Chapman denied the request made today by 17-year-old Dwan Wakefield who remains jailed. Also still jailed without bail are 17-year-old DeAllen Washington and 19-year-old Byron McBride.
Kingston Frazier was asleep in his mother’s car when it was stolen from a Jackson supermarket parking lot May 18th. He was found shot dead on the rear floorboard hours later.
Lawyer Tom Fortner argued that Wakefield didn’t participate in the death in a way meriting murder charges.
District Attorney Michael Guest has said a grand jury could consider reduced charges against Wakefield and Washington. Statements have named McBride as the shooter.
