A man from Alabama was accused of murdering five people, including his wife, two children, niece, and nephew, in Bibb County.
According to court documents, Brandon Allan Kendrick II was charged with five counts of capital murder in the murders of five members of his family. The tragedy occurred about an hour after a birthday party at home.
Kendrick II was accused of murdering his wife and four children with a revolver less than an hour after one of the children celebrated their birthday. The extended family has been soliciting cash on the fundraising site GoFundMe.
The family members include Kelce Kendrick, a 24-year-old wife, and two children called Kaleb and Kynil, ages 6 and 2, respectively. According to The Mirror, the cousins’ ages were Colton, 8, and Haley, 6.
According to accounts, police arrived on the site after someone contacted emergency services to report that a youngster had been shot.
The official continued: “As officers are going, they are saying there are more children that have been shot.” He said, “It’s really horrific. It’s inconceivable what the family is going through, what their friends are going through, and how the community is feeling right now. It was such a dreadful image that even experienced cops told me it was the worst they had ever seen.”When the accused was apprehended, he refused to explain the motivation for the murders.
