Investigators have charged Ricky Crooks, 20, of Moundville in the death of UA grad student Trey Johnson who was shot and killed Sunday, Sept. 11, according to the Tuscaloosa News.
Crooks was charged with capital murder on Friday afternoon after a group of Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s deputies and homicide investigators arrested him at his home. Crooks did not resist arrest, the Tuscaloosa News reported.
Crooks was arrested on the night of the shooting and was released from the Tuscaloosa County Jail Monday on $30,000 bond. Investigators determined that Crooks fired the shot that hit Johnson from a few blocks away as the student walked to the Sterling Crimson parking lot, Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit commander Capt. Loyd Baker said.
