Three people have been indicted by a Madison County grand jury for separate homicides that took place in Huntsville in 2015.

In the first case, Brenda Lisa Ford, 51, is charged with murder in the Feb. 11, 2015, slaying of 34-year-old Tamika Ragland. Ragland died near the intersection of Melody Road and Melody Circle.

The shooting took place during a large fight among several people at an undisclosed location nearby. Police allege that during that fight, Ford pulled out a gun and shot Ragland.

Ragland got into her car and attempted to get help, but crashed into a house at the location where she was found. When officers arrived to investigate a call of a traffic accident, they found Ragland dead on the ground next to her vehicle.

Ford is out of jail on $75,000 bond, according to Madison County Jail records.

In the second case, Henry Corey Hamlet, 47, was indicted in the June 1, 2015, death of 54-year-old Larry Delord Hamlett. Hamlett was found lying in the 3700 block of Steadman Drive, where he had been stomped to death.

A warrant was issued in late November for Hamlet, who turned himself in on the murder charge in December. The men are not related, according to police.

Hamlet is out of jail on $75,000 bond.

The third indictment was handed down against 46-year-old Anderson McCaulley, who is accused of bludgeoning to death Patrice Mondzell Lanier with a hammer on July 30, 2015. McCaulley, who had a history of stalking, was an ex-boyfriend of Lanier's.

Lanier was found lying unresponsive outside her apartment building at 11000 block of East Gateway Drive the morning of her death after neighbors called police. She was pronounced dead a short time later at the hospital.

McCaulley is being held without bond.

Updated Aug. 30, 2018 to show Ford has been acquitted.
