"Cameron Walker, 17, and Jonathan Murray, 18, both of Roswell, were indicted Feb. 11 on three counts of felony murder, murder, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, criminal attempt to purchase marijuana and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Court records show the teens have repeatedly asked to be released from the Fulton County Jail on bail, but so far, have been unsuccessful. Their attorneys filed a motion to waive arraignment March 3.
According to arrest warrants obtained by the Herald, Alpharetta police, with assistance from the North Fulton SWAT team, arrested the Milton varsity basketball players at a gas station in November, moments after their win over Roswell.
The warrants state police used a collection of Snapchat messages, cellphone records, surveillance images and witness statements during an 'intense month-long investigation' to build their case, determining that the teens had allegedly made plans to rob 24-year-old Connor Walsh Mediate when they met him at his Alpharetta apartment to buy drugs.
Police say that when Walker took the drugs, Mediate put up a fight and was shot. Police have not said which of the two teens shot Mediate. However, after the shooting, the teens drove back in Walker’s father’s maroon Porsche Panamera and spent the night at Walker’s home, the warrants state."
