Following a transfer hearing today in Madison County Juvenile Court, Judge Christy Little ordered that Justin Gray, 16, be tried as an adult and ordered that he be held with no bond.

Gray and Ameale Hudson, 24, are charged with First Degree

There was a preliminary hearing in Jackson City Court on

The grand jury will now hear the evidence against Hudson and Gray.
Mitchell was a locksmith who was shot and killed during a robbery at 1170 Hollywood Boulevard (Guardian Courts). The investigation has shown that Hudson provided a then 15-year-old Gray with the gun. Subsequently, Gray shot and robbed Mitchell.
