Tevin Biles-Thomas was charged with murder, voluntary manslaughter, felonious assault and perjury. He was arrested, and is currently awaiting his Sept. 13 arraignment. Police said a gunfight broke at an Airbnb rental on New Year’s Eve late after a group of men showed up uninvited and were asked to leave. Three men, between the ages of 19 and 23, were found dead at the scene and died of multiple gunshot wounds. Two others were injured in the incident. Biles-Thomas, reportedly in the U.S. Army, is currently the only person who has been charged in the shooting.
