A judge on Wednesday ordered the three adult suspects to be jailed without bond as they await trial on murder charges in connection with a deadly shooting at a Sweet 16 birthday party that killed four in Alabama.

District Judge Clayton Turner ordered 20-year-old Wilson LaMar Hill Jr., 20-year-old Johnny Letron Brown and 19-year-old Willie George Brown Jr to be held without bond.

Court records were not immediately available for the three juvenile defendants in the case.
