Witnesses accounts of a drive-by shooting that killed a Brighton teen last weekend has led to the arrests of two men, Brighton police said during a press conference Friday.

Deandre Moore, 24, and Hendarius Jamal Jones, 23, were identified as suspects in the March 18 death of Tyshun Tyree Miller. The 18-year-old victim was shot around 6:30 p.m. while sitting on a bench with friends. Witnesses said a 15-year-old was nearly struck, but Miller stood in the bullet's path. The victim was found wounded in the 1400 block of Clay Street and was rushed to UAB Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Brighton Police Chief Ray Hubbart said Kelvin Andre Edwards Jr., 23, also known

as Kevin Edwards, was initially identified as the shooter. Edwards turned himself in to authorities at the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office in the Bessemer Cutoff at 9 p.m. Saturday. He was formally charged with capital murder on Monday.

Hubbart said a witness came forward during the investigation with details that led police to believe Edwards was not involved in the shooting. Charges were dropped against Edwards and he was freed from jail on Tuesday.

Hubbart said arrests warrants were issued for Moore and Jones after a second witness identified them as the shooters. Jones was arrested around 3 a.m. Thursday and Moore was taken into custody around 7 p.m. the same day. Both have been charged with capital murder and booked into Jefferson County Jail without bonds.

"We are confident we have the right people in jail at this time," Hubbart said.

Many of Miller's friends talked about his sense of humor during a vigil on Sunday. Miller's mother, Delvina, talked about her son's helpful and intelligent personality while holding back tears during the press conference.

It soothes her soul that the suspects are no longer walking freely, she said. She hopes to get some sleep and closure after her son's funeral Monday at Friendship Baptist Church at 11 a.m.

"It just doesn't make sense for young men to go around killing people for no reason. It's really senseless," Delvina Miller said. "I have no hard feeling against them, but they need to be punished for what they've done."
