Adram YoungA man accused of killing 19-year-old Charles Holsey during a drug deal gone wrong on Chattanooga’s North Shore in March turned 18 yesterday and was moved from juvenile lockup to the Hamilton County Jail today.
Adram Young, 18, is charged with first degree murder, especially aggravated burglary, criminal conspiracy and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Two other men, Robert Thompson, 18, and Briston Smith, 18, were previously charged with felony murder in the case.
A witness who was with Holsey that night told police that the three men tried to steal the drugs from Holsey on March 2. The group met behind a gas station at 310 Sylvan Street.
She said Holsey fought with Smith when he tried to steal the drugs. During the fight, Smith told another man to “Shoot him,” and then she heard two gunshots, according to the affidavit.
