Summary
A 17-year-old, Cortez Alexander, is set to face adult charges—including second-degree murder—for a January shooting that killed 28-year-old rideshare driver Shannon O’Brien. Though police say the intended targets were in her car, O’Brien was caught in the crossfire. Alexander joins three other teens—two in juvenile court, one, Noah B. Johnson, also facing murder charges—in a case that’s sparked national attention. Alexander’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for August 14th, as the community grapples with a tragedy that’s left a young life lost and multiple futures hanging in the balance.
