Video footage reportedly revealed suspects driving off in the victim’s vehicle following the shooting, and her car was found shortly before 8:30 p.m.
According to a news release from the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office, on Tuesday, Feb. 28, 15-year-old Miguel Andrade and 21-year-old Eduard Rodriguez-Tabora were indicted by a grand jury on two counts of first-degree murder and especially aggravated robbery in connection with Eason-Williams’ shooting death.
