Markel Alexander Gleaton, 22, of Pope and Richard Bernard McGee, 31, of Oxford, were charged with capital murder, armed robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery. Both men were denied bond by a Justice Court judge.

Antonious Quintez Kimble, 21, of Charleston and a 17-year-old male were charged with armed robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery. Both were given a $100,000 bond by a Justice Court judge.

Jacob Emend Woods, 18, of Oxford and Ajalon Jeffery Reed, 22, of Holcomb were charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery and given bonds of $25,000 by the judge.

The arrests occurred between Dec. 2 and Dec.7.
