An Aniah’s Law hearing will be held Wed., July 2 for the six Atmore and Evergreen men who were arrested recently for the shooting on June 24, according to officials.

Timothy Sanders, 18; Kcarheem McKenzie, 19; Exavion Bradley, 20; Juvenile, 17, all of Atmore; Tyler Hall, 22; and Javarius Watkins, 24, both of Evergreen have all been charged with murder and attempted murder.

Additional charges were added for Bradley, McKenzie, Sanders and the 17-year-old juvenile for an incident that occurred on Oct. 31, 2024, according to the Atmore Police Department.

Public Information Officer Sgt. Darrell McMann said in a recent release that the additional four from Atmore have been charged with five counts of attempted murder, two counts of discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling, two counts of discharging a firearm into an unoccupied dwelling and three counts of discharging a firearm into an unoccupied vehicle in reference to the October incident.

McMann said in a release that on June 24, 2025 at approximately 1:50 a.m., APD officers responded to Atmore Community Hospital in reference to two people who had been shot and were transported by private vehicle to the hospital.

“One of the victims passed away due to their injuries,” McMann said. “The other victim was transported to a trauma center for non life threatening injuries.”

McMann said the investigation revealed that a group of people met on Carver Avenue near 18th Avenue for a street race.

“Gunfire erupted at the completion of the race after the winners collected their money,” he said.

Hall and Watkins were arrested earlier last week.

The Aniah’s Law is a law in Alabama that allows judges to deny bail to individuals charged with certain violent crimes. This means that, in specific cases, those accused of violent offenses can be held in jail without bond while awaiting trial, rather than being released on bail. The law aims to enhance public safety by preventing individuals deemed a high risk to society from being released before their trial.

The hearing will be held at the Escambia County Courthouse in Brewton today at 3 p.m.
