The men made their first court appearance Monday and are being held on $1 million bond each in the death Wednesday of Allie Saum. A woman was charged with obstruction of official duty. Another suspect, a 17-year-old, faces first-degree murder and obstruction charges in juvenile court.
Authorities say Saum was killed when one of the suspects fired at a pickup truck she was riding in with her boyfriend. The suspect apparently mistakenly thought the boyfriend had been involved in a fistfight with him earlier that evening.
The four men charged with murder are Macio Palacio, Stephen Gentry, Daniel Sims and Jerome Forbes.
