"Five people have been arrested in connection with the recent shooting of an Indiana state judge as well as his wife at the couple's home. In a statement, police said three of the suspects face counts of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the 18 January shooting of Judge Steven Meyer and his wife, Kimberly, in Lafayette, Indiana. The police identified those suspects as Raylen Ferguson, Thomas Moss and Blake Smith. Police did not specify a motive in their Thursday statement."
"Officials were pursuing gang and firearm enhancements against Ferguson, Smith and Moss, which could subject them to stiffer punishments if they are eventually convicted, according to the Lafayette police. The police statement made it a point to describe Moss and Smith as habitual offenders, though the agency did not elaborate. Meanwhile, 45-year-old Amanda Milsap of Lafayette is accused of bribery and obstruction of justice. And the Lafayette police's statement accused Zenada Greer, 61, of Lexington, of assisting a criminal and obstruction of justice."
