"It was very clear that Rashad and Christopher were attempting to kill Mr. King due to the large number of bullets fired by Rashad and Christopher,"
A Hamilton County judge sent two men to the grand jury Monday for their suspected role in the Captain D’s shooting last month on Highway 58.
Police say Christopher Green, 20, and Rashad Davis, 19, rode into the Captain D’s parking lot in a white Chevrolet Impala, got out of the car, and opened fire on April 21. Although authorities believe they were aiming for Demarketh King, one of the bullets instead struck bystander Joe Massengill in the lower back, records show. Witnesses reported seeing a white Impala driving away from the scene, which police later found at 4816 Swan Road, along with Green and Davis.

Attorneys Jay Perry and Kelli Black, meanwhile, represented the men, who each face charges of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during commission of a dangerous felony, among other things.
After listening to testimony, Statom said enough probable cause existed to send Davis and Green to the grand jury on the same bonds. If the men are indicted, they will receive a Criminal Court date and be arraigned on the charges.
