Third Suspect Arrested in Alabama ‘Sweet 16’ Birthday Party Shooting

The third arrest came after the earlier arrests of two teen suspects, aged 16 and 17, who were each charged with four counts of reckless murder.

A third man was arrested Wednesday in connection with the Dadeville, Alabama, shooting that left four people dead at a “Sweet 16” birthday party over the weekend. Wilson LaMar Hill Jr., 20, was identified by police after he was arrested and formally charged with four counts of reckless murder. The arrest came after the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency announced earlier that it had arrested two teen suspects aged 16 and 17, who were both charged with four counts of reckless murder as well. Officials said that there was no evidence of a rifle being used in attack, and that they only found shell casings from handguns. Two of the victims were high school seniors, including Phil Dowdell, a star high school wide receiver with plans to play Division 1 football this fall at Jacksonville State. In addition to the four killed, 32 others were injured in Saturday’s deadly attack. Of those, at least 15 teenagers suffered gunshot wounds.
