K’Vontaye Redmond and Lamont Buchanan each face one count of second degree murder and one count of armed criminal action, according to a news release from the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office.
Police were called around 2 p.m. May 10 to a Shell Gas station at 8435 East 63rd Street, where they found 16-year-old Matim Nunley suffering from an injury. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital, according to court documents.
Video surveillance obtained by police from a nearby establishment show the victim leaving the store and Buchanan allegedly pointing a firearm and grabbing Nunley. Redmond, according to the court documents, allegedly stood behind Buchanan and pulled a firearm from his back pocket as well.
Buchanan allegedly fired at Nunley as the victim tried to pull out his own weapon and dropped it, according to court records. Redmond then allegedly pointed his weapon at Nunley as he laid on the ground. Buchanan allegedly picked up the victim’s firearm before they fled the scene.
Redmond is being held on a $100,000 bond and Buchanan is being held without bond, according to the release.
