Montgomery man charged in connection with June 18 homicide
Montgomery police have charged a local man with capital murder in connection with a June 18 homicide.
Zephaniah Lowery, 19, of Montgomery is charged in the case, said Maj. Saba Coleman, spokeswoman for the Montgomery Police Department. On June 18, Darius Gunn, 27, of Montgomery, was found shot in the 1000 block of Eastern Boulevard and was pronounced dead.
Lowery was arrested Thursday, by MPD Special Operations and placed in the Montgomery County Detention Facility under no bond. Police did not immediately release any other details about the case.
Capital murder charges were filed because Lowery allegedly fired into an occupied vehicle when he shot Gunn, Coleman said.
As of Friday, Montgomery has 42 reported homicides for the year and there have been arrests in 25 of those cases. Some cases have seen multiple arrests.
