5th suspect charged, 6th person arrested in Tippecanoe County judge’s shooting – Indianapolis News | Indiana Weather | Indiana Traffic

(WISH) — A sixth person was arrested and a fifth person was formally charged Wednesday in the shooting of a Tippecanoe County judge and his wife.

Neveah Bell, 23, of Lafayette, faces 12 preliminary felony charges including two top-level counts of attempted murder, and a top-level count of conspiracy to commit murder. Online court records on Wednesday afternoon showed an arrest warrant was issued Monday, and no initial hearing had been set. Details of where Bell was arrested were not immediately available in a news release issued Wednesday afternoon from Lafayette Police Department.

Zenada Greer, 61, of Lexington, Kentucky, was formally charged with low-level felony charges of assisting a criminal, and obstruction of justice. Police had arrested Greer in Kentucky and extradited her to Indiana earlier this week.

Investigators say Greer was seen driving with the accused shooter Raylen Ferguson from Kentucky to Lafayette, where the shooting happened Jan. 18 at the judge’s home. The special judge in the Tippecanoe Superior Court 7 case, Cass County Superior Court 2 Judge Lisa Swaim, set Greer’s bond at $2 million.

Greer’s next court date will be March 5, the same as for four earlier announced suspects: Ferguson, Amanda Milsap, Thomas Moss and Blake Smith. All five of them were said to have gang ties.

Investigators believe the judge was shot to interfere with the domestic battery trial of Moss, which Tippecanoe County Superior 2 Judge Steven Meyer was to preside over.
