Two Alabama men have been charged with capital murder in the shooting death of a teen, who was killed in a CVS parking lot following his high school prom in May.
According to WSFA, Anthony Donzell Jackson and Freddie James Williams Jr., both 22, were each charged with capital murder in connection with the death of 18-year-old Delvin Tarver, who was shot inside a car in the parking lot of an Alabama business on May 4.
Court documents indicate Tarver was riding with friends after the Bullock County High School prom when they stopped at a CVS parking lot on Baskin Street. While in the backseat, gunfire erupted, and one of the bullets struck Tarver in the head.
Tarver was rushed to a hospital in Montgomery, where he was later pronounced dead.
Witnesses told police that an argument broke out in the parking lot just before the shooting began.
According to a forensic report released in late November, the bullet that killed Tarver was traced back to a gun discovered at the residence of suspect Williams.
Tarver, a senior at Auburn High School, was an active member of the football team and the school’s honor society.
Both suspects are currently being held at the Bullock County Jail without bond.
The investigation remains ongoing, and law enforcement continues to seek the public’s assistance. Central Alabama CrimeStoppers is offering a cash reward starting at $1,000.00 for any information leading to further arrests. A private donor has increased the reward to $1,500.00.
Anyone with information about the murder of Delvin Tarver is urged to contact the police or CrimeStoppers. Tips can be submitted via the 24-hour tip line at 334-215-STOP (7867) or 1-833-AL1-STOP (251-7867), by texting the keyword “215stop” to 738477, or through the P3-tips app.
