The man accused of opening fire at a Pleasantville High School football game, killing a 10-year-old boy and wounding two, was ordered Wednesday to remain jailed pending trial along with two others facing weapons offenses in the shooting.

Alvin Wyatt, Michael Mack and Tyrell Dorn will remain in the Atlantic County Justice Facility on charges related to the shooting at the Nov. 15 Pleasantville-Camden football game.

The game was suspended in the third quarter when shots rang out, sending the crowd running for cover. Authorities arrested six men, including the intended target of the shooting who was wounded, and others who were found in a BMW driving away from the scene.

Wyatt, 31, of Atlantic City, opened fire into a crowd, aiming for Ibn Abdullah, 27, according to authorities. A 15-year-old and a 10-year-old were also hit. The 10-year-old, Micah “Dew” Tennant, died of his injuries Wednesday after several days in a hospital.

Judge Bernard DeLury, who presided over the hearings Wednesday in a Mays Landing courtroom, was not swayed by any arguments that the men could be released before trial. He said Wyatt’s alleged conduct was “as callous as it was exceedingly dangerous” and “could have caused even greater, widespread harm.”

Wyatt, whose attempted murder charge was upgraded to murder after Tennant died this month, faces a maximum of multiple life terms if convicted, DeLury said.

Chief Assistant Prosecutor Seth Levy moved for detention at each hearing, citing the nature of the crime and each man’s prior offenses.

“This gun was brought to a crowded football game,” presenting “a danger to the community,” he said.

In each hearing DeLury has mentioned that the charges “do not fully capture” the severity of the shooting, which occurred in a crowded public place.

All three men who appeared Wednesday were found in a BMW that police chased through Absecon and Atlantic City after the game. The vehicle, which Wyatt was driving, did not have headlights on at night and did not pull over when police turned on their lights, Levy said. At some point during that drive, a gun was thrown from the car and later recovered by police, he added.

An attorney for Mack said the 9mm Taurus thrown from the car does not match what was used in the shooting. Dorn’s attorney said that gun remained in the BMW during the game.

Those lawyers contended their clients were not associated with the shooting, and are being charged with gun possession for being in the car while just trying to get away from the chaos like everyone else.

“When the shots rang out, he ran just like everybody else to get to safety,” said Matthew Portella, who represents Mack. “He was with people, unfortunately, in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Mack got in the BMW because he knew the men inside, but he did not arrive at the game with them, Portella said. Court documents say Wyatt, Dorn and Vance Golden were also in the car.

“It’s Pleasantville. Everybody knows everybody,” Portella told reporters outside the courthouse.

Mack arrived at the game with family, some of whom were in the courtroom. “I love you, Mikey,” one said as Mack was returned to custody following the proceeding.

Michael Schreiber, who represents Dorn, said the case could benefit from a change of venue due to intense media focus on the case. In court, he told DeLury Dorn was being charged and “affected by the overflow of this young man’s death.”

“It’s probable cause that one of four people in the car had a gun,” Schreiber said. “This is not an attempted murder case. This is not a conspiracy to commit murder case.”

DeLury said his judgment would not be affected by the volume of media coverage and that he would remain impartial. Levy also dismissed that claim.

“Despite what some people may say about me having a big ego, I don’t follow my own cases in the news,” Levy said.

Wyatt was represented by Atlantic City attorney Stephen Funk.

Prosecutors were not seeking a detention hearing for Dixon in the shooting case because Dixon is already being held on a probation violation.

No court dates have been set for Abdullah, who prosecutors said Thursday remained hospitalized after the shooting.

Tyrell Dorn, 28, Shahid Dixon, 27, Michael Mack, 27, –all of Atlantic City— and Vance Golden, 26, were charged with weapons offenses in relation to the Pleasantvile High School football shooting on Nov. 15, 2019.
