Teen accused of killing Malik Sheets wants case moved to juvenile court

Judge denies lowering $1 million bail for 17-year-old charged with killing Malik Sheets last summer

CEDAR RAPIDS — A judge Friday denied lowering a $1 million bail for the 17-year-old accused of killing Malik Sheets last summer, noting the seriousness of the crime and that the teen poses a “significant threat” to the community. Marshawn L. Jeffries is charged with first-degree murder and obstruction of prosecution. He and Christian Emedi, 17, both of Cedar Rapids, are accused of fatally shooting Sheets, 20, during a party June 18. Jeffries was 16 at the time but turned 17 in October. Sarah Hradek, the attorney for Jeffries, asked 6th Judicial District Judge Ian Thornhill to lower her client’s $1 million bail because it amounts to holding him in jail since his family can’t post the bond.

One teen accused of killing Malik Sheets will ask judge to send his case to juvenile court

CEDAR RAPIDS — One of the teens charged with killing 20-year-old Malik Sheets in June plans to ask a judge to transfer his charges to juvenile court. Sarah Hradek, the lawyer for Marshawn L. Jeffries, 17, of Cedar Rapids, told a judge Friday she will file that motion in the near future. Jeffries was 16 years old when Sheets was fatally shot during a party June 18. He turned 17 in October. During the Friday hearing, First Assistant Linn County Attorney Nick Maybanks said he plans to file a motion to consolidate the trials for Jeffries and his co-defendants — Christian Emedi, 17, of Cedar Rapids; Jeffries’ brother, Miguel Ruiz, 24; and Emedi’s girlfriend, Aleah Anderman, 17 — because they are all charged in the same crime.
