2 arrested in 2019 Montgomery homicide
Updated Apr 30, 2021;
Two people have been arrested in the 2019 slaying of a man in Alabama, authorities said.
Montgomery County District Attorney Daryl Bailey said Wednesday that his office’s Cold Case Task Force arrested Si’Keris Miles, 21, and a juvenile who face charges in the July 25, 2019 death of La’Quintin Brown.
The suspects are accused of shooting Brown to death as he stepped outside his apartment to check the switch on his breaker box after losing power, WSFA-TV reported.
Court documents indicate an attempted robbery or burglary was the motive.
Miles is being held on a $150,000 bond. It was unknown if he has an attorney who could speak on his behalf, and the juvenile’s name has not been released because of his age.
A group of district attorneys sent a letter to Alabama House members Wednesday, asking them to reject a medical marijuana bill ahead of an expected vote in the chamber.
The letter, signed by 23 of the state’s 42 district attorneys, calls marijuana a “gateway drug” and suggests that its use could increase the risk of developing schizophrenia, a link that most researchers have been hesitant to make.
“Marijuana is a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” the letter says. “Too many in the general public have been convinced that it is harmless. That is, perhaps, the biggest lie that is being perpetrated on the Alabama public today.”
