There were 3 people that made the trip from Montgomery to Auburn Saturday night. Desmonte is wanted for murder. Jeremy Thomas is wanted for hindering prosecution. No charges against the 3rd unnamed person as of now.

Sounds like it may be Jeremy's dad. Maybe they allowed Desmonte to stay at their house and then wouldn't tell polie where he went.

I am assuming, maybe prematurely, that these are the two the persons of interest the police referenced yesterday.

Was there a guy shot and killed in a separate incident in Auburn that night?

LINK

This link says Gabriel Thomas was the one arrested related to the AU incident. Maybe got mixed up trying to get the info out so fast. 18 yo seems like a more likely accomplice than a 41 yo.

Another news source reporting Gabriel Thomas arrested for lying about Desmonte Leonard's whereabouts.

quote:

“We have reason to believe that he (Thomas) would know his whereabouts, and he provided false information that we were able to confirm was false,” she said.

AUBURN, Alabama -- Eric Mack says he was so concerned about his fallen friends that he didn't realize he had been shot at the scene of a deadly shooting Saturday night. The Auburn offensive lineman, who was hit in the buttocks, found two of his former teammates dead or dying, and three others hit. "I just wanted to make sure everybody was safe," Mack told the Times and Democrat in Orangeburg, S.C., a newspaper near his hometown of St. Matthews. "I wasn't even worried about myself. When I first found out I got shot, I didn't even really realize it. I was still walking around checking on my teammates making sure they were all right. "I just couldn't believe it. It just seemed unreal. Even now, it still seems unreal. I couldn't believe it." Former teammates Ed Christian and Ladarious Phillips were killed, as was Auburn resident DeMario Pitts at the shooting at University Heights apartments. John Robertson is in critical condition at UAB Hospital in Birmingham. Xavier Moss was treated and released the night of the shooting, and Mack was released from the East Alabama Medical Center on Sunday. Mack told the newspaper that his thoughts turned to his 4-year-old daughter, Kaliyah, immediately after the shooting . "My daughter was on my mind ever since last night when I heard the gunshots," Mack said. "That's the first thing I thought about. I thought, 'If I don't make it home, who's going to take care of her?' That's what lifted my spirit. When I talked to her, that was really good for me." Mack said the incident "was definitely an eye opener for me. I actually look at it as motivation. Now I can go out there and do something for myself and my family...especially for my teammates' families. Because they're not here to do it for them, I feel like that's one of my responsibilities now."

I don't think that is what happened. Sounds like the cops have some info, questioned the guy, the guy lied and the cops were able to confirm he was lying so they arrested him.
