Molino Double Shooting Suspect Ordered Held Without Bond

A judge has ordered a Molino double shooting suspect held without bond as he awaits trail.
Justin Demarte Young, 21, will be back in court January 24 for an arraignment hearing on two counts of attempted first degree premeditated murder.
He is charged with shooting Aretha Vaughn and her adult daughter Mea Vaughn about 7:50 p.m. Tuesday night on Barth Road in Molino.
Mea Vaughn was shot on the left side of her face, and Aretha Vaughn was shot in the back and abdomen. The victims were transported to area hospitals by Escambia County EMS.

Young fled the scene and was taken into custody about 25 miles away in the 7700 block of Kipling Street off East Olive Road. He was charged with two counts of attempted first degree premeditated murder. His bond was set at a quarter of a million dollars. While being transported to the Escambia County Jail, Young denied being at location of the shooting on Tuesday.
Young had been temporarily staying with the Vaughns, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. The women told deputies that he just walked in the door and started shooting at them without saying anything.
Young had allegedly moved in with the women after being kicked out of his residence after allegedly pulling a gun. According to an arrest report from that September 20 incident, he allegedly threatened to shoot woman, claiming she was the reason he lost his job. Her child younger son was reportedly in the room at the time. He is awaiting trial on two counts of felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, domestic violence related in connection with the incident.

My last comment on this situation was, why he is able to bond out when he tried to kill, by shooting, two women? Now I see he is held without bond. ABOUT TIME!! I do hope the reason for this is not one of the women died from her wounds. Still praying for the two women.
