He was indicted on several charges, including attempted first-degree murder, especially aggravated robbery, gun charges, criminal trespass, and retaliation for past action.

After police gave Merriweather a misdemeanor citation and left, he allegedly shot Pickett with her own gun while she was in the vehicle.
Merriweather was found a short time later with some of Pickett’s belongings.
