CLAIBORNE COUNTY, Miss. (WLBT) - All twelve suspects connected to the shooting death of Claiborne County Deputy Terrian Bailey have made court appearances.

On Sept. 7 of this year, Bailey, 45, was shot and killed in the parking lot of Michael Dean’s convenience store. Investigators say he was trying to break up a large crowd gathered to celebrate the annual Hermanville Day festival when multiple people fired multiple gunshots toward the crowd.

All 12 suspects in the deadly shooting of Bailey went before Judge Price Henley in Claiborne County Thursday.

Their charges include first-degree murder, aggravated assault, and conspiracy to commit murder.

The judge set bond at $175,000 for all 12 suspects.

• Keith Miller, 23
• Marqueese Richards, 19
• Eli Okonner Robinson, 19
• Kearuis Stimage, 24
• Alvin Truitt, 20

The judge also implemented several recommendations from the sheriff.

Each defendant must have an ankle monitor before they bond out, and it must be worn at all times.

There will be a curfew from 6 p.m.- 6 a.m. unless the defendants are attending work or school. They must show proof of work or school in order for those exceptions to be made.

Defendants who are not from Claiborne County cannot return to the county unless it’s for court.

Additionally, the defendants cannot possess a firearm, commit any other crimes, or contact the victim’s family, which includes no mention on social media.

Eli Robinson scheduled to have preliminary hearing in December.

The remaining suspects’ cases will now be presented to a grand jury.
