A second person was arrested today (Thursday, Oct. 20) in connection with the Oct. 5 shooting death of Charles Dejuan Mayes of Shelbyville.
Davontay Holt, 28, of Shelbyville is charged with criminal homicide, Detective Lt. Charles Merlo of the Shelbyville Police Department said.
Holt is being held on $1 million bond at Bedford County Jail. Mikayla Bowen, 23, of Shelbyville was charged Oct. 6 with criminal homicide in the case.
Mayes was shot in the head at his Chestnut Drive home and died while being transported to Vanderbilt-Bedford Hospital, Merlo said after the shooting.
Holt showed up at Vanderbilt Bedford Hospital moments later with a gunshot wound to the back. He was airlifted to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, where he remained under armed guard by Shelbyville police until his release Thursday.
Both suspects are thought to have been attempting to rob Mayes, police say. Mayes was the father of Bowen’s children.
Holt was previously convicted of a 2012 aggravated robbery at Economy Liquors in Shelbyville. He is originally from Maury County and is wanted there as well on homicide charges, Merlo said.
More arrests are possible, according to police.
