Julian Jamal Conley faces 37 charges, including murder and aggravated assault in the shooting death of 8-year-old Secoriea Turner. Conley and Jerrion Amari McKinney were charged with pointing AR-15 style guns at former NPU Y Chair Christopher McCord, just minutes before Turner was shot. According to police, Turner was riding in a Jeep with her mother and an adult friend when they turned off the Downtown Connector onto University Avenue slightly on the night of July 4, 2020. When the driver attempted to enter a liquor store parking lot on the 1200 block of Pryor Road, police say he was confronted by a group of armed individuals who had blocked the entrance. Authorities said at least two men fired multiple times at the vehicle, hitting Turner. Co-defendant Jerrion McKinney was sentenced to 40 years in a plea deal. |
