A girl arrested as a juvenile in a drug-related homicide and later indicted on a first-degree murder and other charges had her $500,000 bond sharply reduced on Tuesday.
Ninth Judicial District Court Judge Greg Beard granted the motion and set bail for Kaitlyn Leeann Carlino, 17, at $25,000 just days before her 18th birthday. Jail booking information does not show up for Carlino on the Rapides Parish Sheriff s Office website.
Testimony from a Pineville Police Department detective in the hearing provided new details into the shooting of Edwin Davidson Jr., 17, who died in October 2020 after three men opened fire outside an Orchard Loop home because they were mad about being cheated in an earlier drug deal.
Five people have been indicted in the fatal shooting last year of a teen in Pineville.
The indictments on charges of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder were handed down by a Rapides Parish grand jury on Jan. 26.
All five Terrence Armstrong, 23; Kaitlyn Leeann Carlino, 17; Tyrone Markel Compton, 21; Andrew Chestley Mayo, 18; and Pamela Earlene Smith, 25 have pleaded not guilty.
They are accused in the Oct. 20, 2020, shooting of Edwin Davidson Jr., 17, the attempted murder of another man and knowingly and intentionally conspiring to kill Davidson, according to the indictment.
The other person was not injured.
According to information released by the Pineville Police Department last year, the defendants went to a house in the 300 block of Orchard Loop, which is off Bayou Maria Road, after an earlier drug deal on that day. Shots were fired into the house, and Davidson was hit.
