Three Feral Black 'Teens' Indicted in Tennessee For Killing John Shelley

A trio of teenagers from Tennessee have been indicted in connection to a 2013 murder and robbery of a married father of two.

Derek Cunningham, 15, and Corey Sandifer, 16, and Thomas Moss, 17, are accused of shooting dead John Palmer Shelley, 42, as they attempted to rob him October 4, 2013.

At the time of the deadly shooting, Mr Shelley, who was a contractor, was renovating a house in the 4700 block of Scottsdale Avenue in Memphis.

On Tuesday, a grand jury indicted the three suspects on charges of first-degree murder in perpetration of a robbery, especially aggravated robbery, and aggravated robbery, the station WMCTV reported.

Cunningham, the youngest of the three, also faces one count of premeditated first-degree murder.

All three teens are being held without bond.






On October 4, 2013, John 'J.P.' Shelley and construction worker Octavio Sanchez were making renovation estimates on a home at 4776 Scottsdale Avenue when they were ambushed by three teens who demanded their possessions.

During a hearing last December, Sanchez testified that both he and Shelley handed over their billfolds, an iPhone and an iPad to their assailants, WREG reported.
